CloudJiffy provides multiple environments in just a few clicks, like live production that your customers are using, a test environment for quality assurance, and a development environment in which your programmers are creating and modifying features.
CloudJiffy allows to create the environment that you need, including the application servers, databases, load balancers and so on.
You can easily clone an environment, which provides you to work with multiple versions of the same environment as well as branch your environments as needed.
The cloned environment is exactly identical to your original environment including all data in its databases, deployed packages, etc. Also, you can use this feature in order to rename your environment (i.e. enter the desired name for the cloned environment and delete the old one).
To clone an environment just click the Clone button next to it, as shown in the picture below:
After that, you can give the name for the copy or leave the default one ({parent_environment_name}-clone{number}). Confirm your choice.
In a few minutes the environment will be cloned and ready for use:
Notes:
- Cloning environment shared within a collaboration is permitted only for its owner (primary collaboration user). Until the cloned environment is shared by the owner, it will be unavailable for other users with access to the original environment.
- Storing data in a dedicated storage container makes it easier to handle several environments dedicated to different app lifecycle stages (e.g. separate ones for development, testing and production)
