Set up a Deployment
===========================

You can set up two types of deployment:

-	**Automatic**: Automatic deployment automatically deploys the deployment package to any existing or newly added clusters with metadata that matches the metadata specified in the deployment setup.

-	**Manual**: In manual deployment, you can select the clusters where the deployment package will be deployed from the existing cluster list.

.. note::

   For more insights into how deployments are linked to hosts, see the
   :doc:`/user_guide/how_it_works/automated_deployment` section.

To set up a deployment, perform the following steps:

1. Select **Deployments** tab and click **Setup a Deployment** button. The **Setup a Deployment** page appears:
