Environment definitions

When a customer is onboarded, four specific environments are provisioned and dedicated for you. Each environment has a specific purpose and role in the overall development and deployment lifecyle of experiences, content, assets and applications built on the platform.

The environments are summarized below:

Label	Type	Purpose	High-Avail	Monitoring
dev	Development	Development of customer-owned experiences & applications	No	Basic
qa	QA	Integration testing of customer-owned experiences & applications	No	Basic
auth	Authoring	Authoring and validation of content and digital assets	Yes	Full
prod	Production	Delivery of content, applications & experiences to both internal & external audiences	Yes	Full

This enables distinct environments in which your development and delivery lifecycle activities can be focused and managed, with a clear path for promotion from development through production release.

Depending on the specific offerings purchased by each customer, your environments will all contain the same combination of the requisite component applications and services, in an integrated deployment and security model.
