Environment Types

Environment Types

Each Environment has a type that describes its purpose and lifecycle.

Type	Description
Productive	A production installation serving production workloads. It is typically deployed at the customer site.
Test	A test environment, usually accompanying a production installation. It is used to test the system before deploying changes to production. Test environments are typically deployed at the customer site.
Develop	A development environment used by developers. It does not require the same performance optimization as a production environment, but provides the resources required to support the development process.
Evaluation	A temporary environment used for evaluation and experimentation. It is typically deployed to explore and test the system and may be created and removed multiple times.
Other	An installation that does not fit into any of the predefined environment types.
