Environments

Environment represents a set of infrastructure into which a Package (or, more specifically, a specific version of the configuration for a Package) may be deployed, along with any parameters needed to customise that deployment for the Environment. Environments are Project specific and each project may have more than one Environment.

For example, a Project may have three Environments: Development, Test and Production. When a Package is under development it will be repeatedly deployed to Development until a version suitable for testing is generated. At this time that specific configuration can be deployed to Test, and if testing is successfull, then deploy into Production. Each of these deployments can be placed on different infrastructure - as the clusters used for Development will generally need to be less capable and numerous as those in Production. Equally, parameters are important because when deploying to Test the Package's Applications will need to connect to resources such as a test database, whereas in Production the full production-level resources need to be applied.
