Creating a deployment project from a plan is easy with Bamboo.

A deployment is a container that holds:

  • Environments that represent the physical environments, such as QA, Staging and Production 
  • Releases which represent the actual software artifacts being deployed - these include the issues and commits which make up the release.

To create a new deployment project you must:

  1. Provide a name and a description that represents your project
  2. Associate the project with a build plan. The build plan will produce the artifacts you will snapshot into a release and deploy to the environment. Associating the deployment project with a build plan tells the deployment project which set of artifacts to use for the deployment.

If you are using plan branches, you will also need to associate the deployment with the plan branch. The plan branch represent a build for a branch within the version control system that inherits the configuration defined by the parent plan. Any new branch created is automatically built and tested using the same build configuration as the parent. When the plan branch build succeeds, it can be merged back into master.

    Related Build PlanThe name of the plan you wish to associate with the deployment project Hint:  This field identifies the source of your deployment artifacts(error)
    NameThe name of your deployment project(error)
    DescriptionA brief description of your deployment project(tick)
    Default plan branchThe plan branch that you wish to deploy. This option will only display if your plan has a valid branch, as described above(error)
  3. Click on Save deployment project to save your changes.

Configuring release naming

Bamboo's release naming configuration allows you to control:

  • What Bamboo will call the next release the deployment project generates
  • Automatic incrementing of the release number each time a new release is created
  • Automatic incrementing of the release number as specified by a global variable each time a new release is created.

See Naming versions for deployment releases for more information.

Configuring deployment project permissions

Bamboo gives you control over who has permission to View and Edit aspects of your deployment project.

To configure your permission strategy:

  1. Click the Permissions button on the 'Deployment project configuration' screen to display the 'Edit permissions' screen:

  2. Click the Add User or Add Group button to search for and add, users or groups
