Deployments
===============================================
**Deployment** is a fundamental unit used for orchestrating the deployment of a :doc:`/user_guide/package_software/deploy_packages` in the Catalog.
A deployment contains a deployment package name, profile name, deployment type, and target clusters.

Deployment to clusters and their hosts is initiated when one or more clusters meet the deployment's target cluster criteria.

A **Deployment Instance** refers to an instance of a deployment that has been deployed to a cluster. It represents the state of that deployment on a specific cluster, essentially the status of applications within the deployed deployment package.

Click the **Deployments** tab on the top menu to view the **Deployments** page. In the **Deployments** page, you can view the list of the deployments that have been created. The status indicator shows a quick view of the status of the deployment that depends on many factors.

Using the search bar at the top of the page, you can search for a deployment. The other actions that you can perform from this page are setting up a deployment, deleting a deployment, and upgrading a deployment.
