deployeras
Deployeras is a term used in some software engineering contexts to describe automated deployment agents or roles responsible for delivering software artifacts to target environments. A deployera can be a software agent, a script, a service, or a defined human role within a CI/CD pipeline. The concept emphasizes repeatability, traceability, and safety in deployment processes.
Typically, a deployera handles artifact retrieval, environment provisioning, configuration application, and the execution of deployment steps.
Architectures vary: some deployeras are agent-based, running with credentials in target environments, while others are agentless
