Description: The ‘Deployment Targeting’ refers to the process of defining the specific environment in which applications will be deployed. This process is crucial in software development as it allows development and operations teams to establish the necessary conditions for an application to function correctly in production. Targeting involves identifying variables such as the operating system, network configuration, software and hardware dependencies, as well as security policies that must be applied. By defining these parameters, the aim is to minimize errors and ensure that the application runs efficiently and securely. In modern development environments like CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment) pipelines, deployment targeting is integrated into the automation of the deployment process and enables greater agility in software delivery. This not only improves the quality of the final product but also optimizes collaboration between development and operations teams, promoting a DevOps culture that seeks continuous improvement and rapid adaptation to market changes.
