      - Deploying a simple web application
        In this tutorial, you deploy a simple web application with HCL DevOps Deploy (Deploy). You create components, create an application that contains those components, and then deploy the components to an environment.
      - Creating and deploying snapshots
        In this tutorial, you deploy a simple web application to a new environment with HCL DevOps Deploy (Deploy). You create a snapshot of the components in an application, and then deploy the snapshot to an environment.
        Introduction
        In this tutorial, you deploy a simple web application to a new environment with HCL DevOps Deploy (Deploy). You create a snapshot of the components in an application, and then deploy the snapshot to an environment.
        Configuring the server and target system
        Modify the HCL DevOps Deploy (Deploy) server that you used in the previous tutorial. Create another agent resource and incorporate a new environment property to allow for easy reuse.
        Lesson 1: Adding snapshots
        Creating a snapshot involves saving a collection of component versions that are part of an application.
        Lesson 2: Creating an environment
        Environments are deployment targets for the application components that you specify. You create another environment in the application's delivery pipeline to facilitate multiple active applications. You apply an agent resource and specify which components the agent resource deploys.
        Lesson 3: Deploying the snapshots
        To promote the snapshot to an environment, apply the snapshot when you run the application process.
        Summary
        In this tutorial, you created and deployed a snapshot to an environment in HCL DevOps Deploy (Deploy).

Creating and deploying snapshots

In this tutorial, you deploy a simple web application to a new environment with HCL DevOps Deploy (Deploy). You create a snapshot of the components in an application, and then deploy the snapshot to an environment.

Learning objectives

In this tutorial, you learn how to complete these tasks:

Create a snapshot of an environment's components to quickly deploy its application to another environment.
Configure environments on which to deploy applications.
Select a snapshot while you run an application process to promote the snapshots to a new environment.

Time required

Approximately 1 hour

Note: You must complete Deploying a simple web application before you begin this tutorial.
