 # Pipeline Templates
 
-This category provides templates to implement a CI/CD pipeline covering the entire development lifecycle. These assets are developed based on [The Git-based process you need for Mainframe development](https://ibm.github.io/z-devops-acceleration-program/docs/git-branching-model-for-mainframe-dev) and help you to quickly setup your pipeline environment. Please make yourself familiar with the outlined Git branching model.

+## Capabilities of Pipeline Templates 
+
+The below tables provide an overview of the implemented capabilities of the pipeline templates. The information can be used to lookup and understand the variations in the implementations. The :red_circle: icon indicates that this step uses a [Common Backend Script](Common-Backend-Scripts/).
+
+### Technology in use with CI/CD orchestrators
+
+ <br>  | Azure DevOps | GitLab CI | GitHub Actions | Jenkins
+--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
+**CI Runner/Agent topology** | ADO runner | gitlab-runner shell executor | GitHub Actions runner | Jenkins node on z/OS
+**Git Provider** | Azure DevOps | GitLab | GitHub | Any Git provider
+**Deployment technology** | IBM Wazi Deploy | IBM Wazi Deploy | IBM Wazi Deploy | IBM DevOps Deploy (a.k.a. UCD)
+**Communication between CI platform and z/OS** | SSH | IBM RSE API Plug-in for Zowe CLI | SSH | Jenkins-managed
+**Additional integration technologies** | Azure DevOps CLI | GitLab REST interface | GitHub CLI | 
+**Pipeline extensions** |       |       |      | SonarQube sonar-scanner
+
+### Implemented pipeline tasks
+
+All templates implement the recommended working practice, that is documented within the [IBM zDevOps Guide](https://ibm.github.io/z-devops-acceleration-program/docs/git-branching-model-for-mainframe-dev).
+It is made of:
+* a **feature branch pipeline**, that provides an early feedback to developers about the impacted components of their changes, building a preliminary package that can be tested in an isolated environment,
+* an **integration pipeline**, that is triggered when merging changes into an integration branch such as the `main`, `release` maintenance or `epic` branch
+* a **release pipeline**, that builds all contributed changes for the iteration, creates a release candidate package and allows to drive deployments into controlled test environments.
+
+The below table provides an overview of the capabilities that are implemented in the various templates. The second column in the table indicates for which types of pipeline the capability is available:   
+:small_blue_diamond: feature branch pipeline  
+:small_orange_diamond: build pipeline for integration branches  
+:small_red_triangle: release pipeline
