Code Studio connects to Acquia’s hosting platforms and supports multiple Acquia products, including Cloud Platform and Site Factory.
When configuring a Code Studio project, you set up a connection between Code Studio and Cloud Platform with API keys. The Code Studio project uses Acquia CLI to connect to Cloud Platform with the Cloud API key and a secret defined as a CI/CD environment variable.
The Code Studio DevOps pipeline performs the following tasks through Acquia CLI:
Sets up Drupal with your Cloud Platform application’s database
Creates a Cloud Platform CD to verify code changes
Deploys and pushes artifacts from Code Studio to the hosting git repository
Code Studio is integrated with the Cloud Platform user interface and API. The Cloud Platform user interface includes the following entitlement details and functionality for Code Studio:
Your Code Studio entitlement information, including total number of Code Studio user seats and subscription duration.
The ability to assign, remove, and reassign Code Studio seats to users belonging to your Cloud Platform subscription.
The ability to provision projects for your Cloud Platform hosted applications.
The links on your application environment cards to the corresponding branch in your Code Studio project.
