Project Groups

Project Groups provide categorization tags for release content. As such, pipelines define the tags, and deploy segments of the content based on those tags. Releases consuming the pipeline can then tag its content as belonging to those groups.

For example, suppose a pipeline defines project groups Database, Configuration, and Applications. The steps within a pipeline stage can then deploy all Database, deploy all Configuration, and finally, deploy all Applications. The release which consumes the pipeline, then defines which content is tagged with Database, Configuration, and Applications.
