Provisioning Environments

After creating a Stack Provider and a Stack Template, you can decide to either provision a deployment target and then assign it to an environment or to provision an environment. This is what you have to do if you decide to go for the second option.

To Provision an Environment

  1. Select Environments in the main pane.
  2. Click the Provision button. The Provisioning Environment dialog is displayed.

  3. Enter a name for the new environment.
  4. Select the type of environment from the dropdown list.
  5. Select the folder where you want to store your environment.
  6. Select an environment owner.
  7. Assign one or more deployment targets to the environment. To do so:

    1. Enter the deployment target name.
    2. Select the number of instances you want to create.

      You can create up to 100 instances.

    3. Select a stack template from the dropdown list. (See Creating Stack Templates). To see the properties of the stack template click Open.

      Only stack templates with status "connected" are displayed.

    4. Optionally, click the Add target button to create more deployment targets.
  8. Click the Source tab to check the blueprint YAML file.

    You can also download the existing YAML blueprint or upload another one to fill in the fields in the Properties section.

  9. Click Provision.

Now the deployment workflow can be executed.
