Setting up external CI/CD for Cloud Platform (Drupal)

Connect your own CI/CD tool (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, or any Linux CI) to Acquia Cloud Platform: your pipeline builds a deployable artifact, pushes it to the application's Acquia Git repository, and Cloud Platform runs the Drupal deployment operations server-side. Every step has an acli command, so the whole workflow is scriptable.

Use when:

• Wiring an existing GitHub/GitLab (or other) pipeline to build and deploy Drupal to Cloud Platform
• Migrating off Acquia Pipelines while keeping the same deploy-branch convention
• Scripting artifact build (push:artifact) and environment deploys (code-switch) in CI

For the complete reference (full provider templates, appendices, and background), see the Acquia documentation.

Provider setup files — read the one matching the customer's CI tool:

• github-actions.md — GitHub Actions workflow files
• gitlab-ci.md — GitLab CI/CD .gitlab-ci.yml
