About Phases

What is a Phase? A deployment will contain multiple phases (some call these stages). A phase describes the releases to an environment.

Our model for DCP is structured this way:

• Deployment
  • Phase(s) - one or more per environment
    • Release(s) - per cluster

A phase has:

• Prerequisite rules that are enforced before deloyments
• May have Checks that an artifact version has been deployed to a prior environment. See Phase Checks
• May have Approvals for each pre-requisite (who approved/rejected, timestamps, etc). See Phase Approvals
• The GUS case used for the approval - for this environment
• The status which includes the status of its child releases. For example, if any release is failed, the phase will be marked as failed.

You can see the phases for a deployment on the Deployment Detail page.
