Deploying Applications 16
Application Services simplifies and automates deployments of multi-tier enterprise applications in hybrid
cloud environments.
With Application Services, you can create different deployment profiles for a life cycle, such as
development, testing, and production. You can add deployment profiles to a composite deployment
profile, bind their properties, and deploy them together and in order. The deployment profile settings are
saved in Application Services. You can reuse a saved deployment profile to deploy an application version
to a supported cloud environment.
If you update a deployed application, Application Services creates an update profile based on the
modified values. This update profile includes an update script generated from the defined update life
cycle stage.
To familiarize yourself with the key concepts relating to deploying applications, see Key Concepts.

Setting Up and Configuring a Deployment Profile
Deployment profiles let you configure settings such as cloud templates, networks, and application
property values that are allowed for use in specific deployment environments.
In the deployment profile, you can review the execution plan, add custom tasks to the execution plan,
review the deployment profile settings, and make changes before you deploy the application.
