Use this tag for questions about deployment, which is about all the activities to make (part of) a system available for use in some target environment.

Deployment is the activity of making a system or part of a system available for use in a target environment.

It is worth noting the DevOps Practice of Continuous Deployment seeks to separate release from deployment:

For most organizations releasing and deploying are the same thing while in fact, these are 2 separate things:

  • Deployment: A technical handling where a new version of the software is deployed to a specific environment
  • Release: A business handling where the customers are informed that a new version of the software is available and can be used
