Deploy Applications

To deploy designed applications, the release manager uses processes to create deployments. Each process functions as a deployment step. The deployment template determines the order of the deployment steps and acts as a framework for the deployment plan. The deployment plan associates the deployment steps with an artifact package and holds the release-specific parameter values. From the deployment plan, the release manager creates deployments for specific environments.

You create the following objects to deploy an application:

Deployment Template

The deployment template compiles processes and deployment steps and determines the order of the deployment steps. The deployment template is a framework of deployment logic that can be reused across deployments and deployment plans.

Project

The project is a container for deployment plans that represent a single milestone or increment of work. In an agile environment, the project often represents a development sprint.

Deployment Plan

The deployment plan associates the deployment steps in a deployment deployment with an artifact package and holds the release-specific parameter values. The deployment plan often represents a specific build of an application within a sprint. A deployment plan is reusable across deployments.

Deployment

The deployment is a specific deployment of an application from a deployment plan in a single environment. You can create multiple deployments from a single deployment plan to deploy the application in multiple environments.

The following diagram shows how the deployment objects relate to one another:
