CloudBees actions

1 minute read

The CloudBees platform uses a YAML-based domain-specific language (DSL) to specify its workflows and to define reusable event-driven actions, similar to GitHub Actions (GHA). In general, CloudBees platform DSL has the same syntax and semantics as GHA, enabling users familiar with GHA to get a running start with CloudBees actions.

For convenience, the full list of all CloudBees Actions is displayed on the left menu pane.

A key difference between CloudBees actions and GHA is that many GHAs require a full virtual machine for execution. CloudBees actions provide the core functionality necessary for authoring workflows, including:

  • Integration with DevOps tools such as CloudBees CI and Jenkins®.

  • Interaction with cloud services.

  • Building and managing container images.

  • Scanning repositories for coding errors and security issues.

  • Integration with infrastructure automation tools like Helm.

To avoid any confusion with GHA, CloudBees actions are executed from .cloudbees/workflows in your source repository.

All CloudBees action repositories are listed at CloudBees, Inc. on GitHub.

Ensure that your workflow and action code do not execute untrusted input. Use the following recommendations to harden your code against attackers:

  • Use CloudBees platform actions instead of an inline script to pass the context value to the action as an argument.

  • Store sensitive information in secrets.

  • Add a code scanner step to your workflow to check for security vulnerabilities.

  • Add the .cloudbees/workflows directory to the code owners list.

  • For inline scripts, use an intermediate environment variable to handle untrusted input.
