Deployment

Definition​

A deployment is a running or planned instance of a component in a defined environment and configuration.

Boundaries​

A component describes a logical system part; a deployment describes its concrete presence in an environment. Production, test, and multiple regions are normally different deployments of the same component.

Minimum characteristics​

  • component;
  • environment;
  • state;
  • version or configuration line;
  • compute resource;
  • region or location when needed.

Relationships​

A deployment instantiates a component and is placed on a compute resource. Availability follows from the resource's connection to a network segment.

Example​

DEP-CASE-API-PROD-RU1 is the production deployment of the case API in region RU1.

Common mistakes​

  • creating a component for every environment;
  • encoding the environment only in the name;
  • linking a logical component directly to several servers and losing the instance concept.
