    - Deploying a simple web application
      In this tutorial, you deploy a simple web application with HCL Launch. You create components, create an application that contains those components, and then deploy the components to an environment.
      - Introduction
        In this tutorial, you deploy a simple web application with HCL Launch. You create components, create an application that contains those components, and then deploy the components to an environment.
      - Configuring the agent and target system
        To deploy applications with HCL Launch, you need one or more agents. The server uses the agents to deploy the application components on target systems.
      - Lesson 1: Adding components
        Components are groups of deployable artifacts that make up an application. Components include runnable files, images, databases, and configuration instructions.
      - Lesson 2: Creating component processes
        Component processes describe automated tasks that run on components. Component processes can deploy, install, uninstall, update, or run other tasks on a component.
      - Lesson 3: Creating an application and an environment
        Applications are collections of components. Environments represent systems on which you deploy the application components.
      - Lesson 4: Creating an application process
        Application processes tie together component processes.
      - Lesson 5: Deploying the application components
        To deploy the components in the application, run the application process on the new environment.
      - Lesson 6: Updating the application
        In the first lesson, you deleted certain versions of the components. In this lesson, you add those versions again to simulate deploying a new version of the components.
      - Summary
        In this tutorial, you learned to deploy and update an application with HCL Launch.
    - Creating and deploying snapshots
      In this tutorial, you deploy a simple web application to a new environment with HCL Launch. You create a snapshot of the components in an application, and then deploy the snapshot to an environment.
