Thanks, that was very helpful. Is it possible to use a single agent for a whole multi-stage pipeline and use input in the middle of it without blocking the executor slot ?

It is very helpful tutorial and May i know how we can provide approval process to specific people to approve job from Pre-Prod to Prod.

Hi Darin... Thanks for the great content.
Was wondering if you could help with an issue I've run into. I'm running terraform commands in the form of sh blocks. As you might know, Terraform needs input at certain points to confirm that you want to go ahead with creating resources. The terraform CLI has an auto-approve flag for 'Terraform apply' but not 'Terraform init'. I'm automating setting up an EKS cluster in AWS and need to run Terraform init again at a certain point... this is the console output:
+ terraform init
Initializing the backend...
Do you want to copy the existing state to the new backend?
The pre-existing state was found while migrating the previous "local" backend to the
newly configured "s3" backend. No existing state was found in the newly
configured "s3" backend. Do you want to copy this state to the new "s3"
backend? Enter "yes" to copy and "no" to start with an empty state.
Enter a value: ╷
I'm not sure how to set up the step so that I have an input option to say "yes" and then have the pipeline continue.
Please help.
Many thanks

Hi Darin how to get parameters of previous stage and use it next stage even though previous stage is aborted

[@jockie666]

Why is the branch called "main" instead of "master"?
