Deployment targets

These are the k5-projects to where you want to deploy your application. These deployment targets have to be configured in advance to be available for applications. Please refer to creating new deployment targets if you don't have configured them yet.

Each deployment target represents a separate stage, so you can apply your own staging concept. Typically, this includes DEV, TEST, STAGE and PROD, but you are not limited to these. As these deployment targets are separated, each of them has its very own configuration and also the components added to each of these targets can be configured individually. This enables you to adjust every component to the requirements of the environment it is running in.

All deployment targets can be easily accessed on the Components page by clicking on their tab.

Adding deployment targets:​

The following steps will create a new deployment target (stage) for the chosen application.

  1. Click on the "Add deployment target" button
  2. Select the deployment target from the dropdown menu
  3. Click on "Add"

Removing deployment targets:**​

  1. Click on the trashcan icon next to the filter options button (not the big icon in the right upper corner)
  2. Confirm the removal in the confirmation dialog
❗️info

This will only remove the application and its configuration from the deployment target and not affect the deployment target itself.

Compare Deployment Targets​

When working with multiple deployment targets it is most likely that they consist of the same components but may use different versions. In case you composed your initial stage (e.g., DEV) then you would have to do the same setup again for the succeeding deployment target (e.g., TEST) resulting in adding all components again to the second target. To avoid that, there is feature called "compare deployment targets" located left of the "+" icon to add components.

This feature allows you to choose a source target and compare it with another target. The dialog will list all components and their used version of the source target and lets you set a version for the second target. This way, you can duplicate a whole deployment target and edit the version in one go. This will only add the components you selected from the list.

When you're done, click on "Set" to apply the changes to the current deployment target.
