Define input parameters to includable CI/CD configuration files

GitLab 15.11 introduces a new feature that allows users to define input parameters for CI/CD templates, enhancing the flexibility and modularity of pipeline configurations. This feature facilitates the replacement of any keyword in the template, such as stage or job name, with a parameter, enabling better job isolation and reducing the reliance on global variables. Input parameters can be mandatory or optional and are scoped to the included configuration, ensuring they do not affect the rest of the pipeline. This functionality is part of the CI/CD Components Catalog roadmap, which aims to allow users to search and reuse CI/CD configuration units with specific parameters. The blog provides detailed instructions on creating and incorporating these templates, showcasing how parameters like website and environment can be utilized within a YAML configuration file.
