# Pipelines

Pipelines runs a workflow you describe in a YAML file. You upload the file as a pipeline, start a
run of it on a CPU or GPU plan, and watch each step's status and logs. A run can start once, or
repeat every hour or every day on a schedule. The file is written in Argo Workflows format or
compiled from the Kubeflow Pipelines SDK. Each step runs a container, so any container image can be
a step.

## Where to find it

In TIR, open your project. In the side menu, under **PRODUCTS**, select **Pipeline**. The first
time, you land on a page with **Create Pipeline**. After that, the **Manage Pipelines** screen lists
your pipelines.

## What you can do

### Build and run

- [Create a pipeline](/tir/pipelines/how-to/create-a-pipeline/) by uploading a YAML file.
- [Create a pipeline version](/tir/pipelines/how-to/create-a-pipeline-version/) to change a pipeline
  and keep its earlier versions.
- [Create a run](/tir/pipelines/how-to/create-a-run/) with an experiment and a plan.
- [Schedule a run](/tir/pipelines/how-to/schedule-a-run/) to repeat every hour or every day.
- [Run a Docker image](/tir/pipelines/how-to/run-a-docker-image/) as a pipeline step.
- [Transfer data between EOS and PFS](/tir/pipelines/how-to/transfer-data-between-eos-and-pfs/) with
  ready-made pipeline files.

### Watch and manage

- [Watch a run and read its logs](/tir/pipelines/how-to/watch-a-run-and-read-its-logs/).
- [Retry, terminate, or delete a run](/tir/pipelines/how-to/retry-terminate-or-delete-a-run/).
- [Manage scheduled runs](/tir/pipelines/how-to/manage-scheduled-runs/): turn them on and off, see
  the runs they started, or delete them.
- [View a pipeline version](/tir/pipelines/how-to/view-a-pipeline-version/): its step graph and its
  YAML.
- [Delete a pipeline or a version](/tir/pipelines/how-to/delete-a-pipeline-or-version/).

### Understand

- [How pipelines, versions, runs, and experiments fit
  together](/tir/pipelines/concepts/how-pipelines-work/).
- [Billing and plans for pipeline runs](/tir/pipelines/concepts/billing-and-plans/).

## Where to start

Start with [Get started with Pipelines](/tir/pipelines/get-started/), which takes you from a YAML
file to a run with logs. For help with any message, [Troubleshooting
Pipelines](/tir/pipelines/troubleshooting/pipelines/) has the fixes, and the [Pipelines
FAQ](/tir/pipelines/faq/) has short answers.
