Governance Tier
Templates define the business logic of the pipeline and a configuration file is used to implement the functionality of the template.
If you would like to leverage the templating capabilities of JTE without sharing workflows between applications, you can place a Jenkinsfile
template at the root of your application’s source code repository alongside the pipeline_config.groovy
configuration file.
If you would like to consolidate templates or common configurations, you can put organizational templates and common configurations into a Governance Tier.

Governance Tiers consist of Configuration Files, Library Sources, and Pipeline Templates.
