Hosts your application to your internal or external end users.
If an end user might use an environment, it functions as a
Production environment. This applies whether the environment
also provides testing, quality assurance, evaluation, or
development capabilities.
One license per server
Test/QA Server
This type of environment can be used to:
Test
Exercises your application to verify that it works as
designed and expected. The platform configuration might
be a less performant version of Production in compute,
network, and storage capability.
Assure system quality
Validates your application against a combination of data,
hardware, and software configured to simulate Production.
The platform configuration should be a smaller scale of
Production in compute, network, and storage capability.
Stage
Simulates the Production environment including
performance testing and release candidate approval. The
platform configuration should mirror Production in
compute, network, and storage capability.
One license per server
Development Server
Hosts in progress design, code, debugging or some combination
thereof for your application. Used to evaluate if the current
state of your application can be promoted to another
environment.
None
RAM Pool
Provides any combination of servers for any environment purpose.
One license for any number of servers up to the maximum of
the total GB of RAM you purchased across these servers.
