# CICD
## CICD Pipeline Attributes
This group describes attributes specific to pipelines within a Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) system. A [pipeline](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipeline_(computing)) in this case is a series of steps that are performed in order to deliver a new version of software. This aligns with the [Britannica](https://www.britannica.com/dictionary/pipeline) definition of a pipeline where a **pipeline** is the system for developing and producing something. In the context of CI/CD, a pipeline produces or delivers software.
| Attribute | Type | Description | Examples | Stability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `cicd.pipeline.name` | string | The human readable name of the pipeline within a CI/CD system. | `Build and Test`; `Lint`; `Deploy Go Project`; `deploy_to_environment` |  |
| `cicd.pipeline.run.id` | string | The unique identifier of a pipeline run within a CI/CD system. | `120912` |  |
| `cicd.pipeline.task.name` | string | The human readable name of a task within a pipeline. Task here most closely aligns with a [computing process](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipeline_(computing)) in a pipeline. Other terms for tasks include commands, steps, and procedures. | `Run GoLang Linter`; `Go Build`; `go-test`; `deploy_binary` |  |
| `cicd.pipeline.task.run.id` | string | The unique identifier of a task run within a pipeline. | `12097` |  |
| `cicd.pipeline.task.run.url.full` | string | The [URL](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/URL) of the pipeline run providing the complete address in order to locate and identify the pipeline run. | `https://github.com/open-telemetry/semantic-conventions/actions/runs/9753949763/job/26920038674?pr=1075` |  |
| `cicd.pipeline.task.type` | string | The type of the task within a pipeline. | `build`; `test`; `deploy` |  |
