I am looking for best approaches for deploying NiFi flows from my DEV environment to TEST/PROD environments.

Below links gives an overview of how we can achieve the same; basically it explains we have to make use of NiFi Cli to automate the deployment.

But I was wondering is there an option to create a general script which can be used for deploying for different types of flows. Since the variables that we need to set for one processor is different from another one, not sure how we can do the same.

Any help is appreciated

I am the primary maintainer of NiPyAPI, a Python client for working with Apache NiFi. I have an example script covering the steps you are requesting though it is not part of the official Apache project.
