Remove Deployment Environments

Last updated 22/05/2024

In this documentation you will learn how to manage the removal of deployments. We will walk through each environment so you have an understanding of how to remove deployments to have your application upgraded in the testing and production environments. It is important to know that through this process the testing and production environments need to be brought down and re-deployed for any changes to be applied that you have performed in the development environment.

Development

info

When removing your application from the development environment, you are only removing your version. You cannot remove a version that another user of Five is developing.

The testing environment needs to be removed if you have performed changes to an instance of your application and you want these changes available in the testing deployment to test. The development deployment does not need to be removed from deployment for the testing deployment to take on these changes, however, you must deploy or run your application in the development environment after performing your changes to apply the changes to your testing deployment.

1. Select the instance record you want to remove from deployment and click the Cluster Management button.

2. Click the Cluster Management button.
