A deployment is executed by running the tasks defined in the deployment's segments. The default deployment plan has two segments—Pre-Deployment Tasks, and Deployment Tasks. Segments are started manually, and, like tasks, can be run in parallel or serially. Start times are calculated from durations defined when the tasks were created.
Segments are displayed on the Scheduled Deployment page (Home > Scheduled Deployments > selected_deployment). The order in which segments are displayed is not the order in which they are executed.
Segments can be added or deleted at any time, and can have other segments designated as prerequisites. A segment with prerequisites cannot commence until the designated segments successfully complete all their tasks. Segments can also be restricted by user role; only users with the specified executor role can initiate the segment.
Users assigned to tasks can perform them, and tasks without an assigned user can be claimed by any user with the proper role.
Once you have scheduled the deployment, it will be added to the Scheduled Deployments page. There, you can edit, delete, or investigate the deployment.
