Add Environment
The Add Environment button enables the creation of new environments. Users can:

Customize each environment with specific computing power, storage, bandwidth, and additional services.
-
Review configuration summaries and total costs before finalizing.

The configuration options for each environment in this section are the same as those in the Step 3: Configure Application Details section when creating a new app for the first time. Each added environment requires independent configuration, including options for:
View Environment
The View Environment button opens the selected environment’s overview page for further details and monitoring.
Upgrading an Environment
The Upgrade button opens a configuration panel where you can adjust the resources allocated to a specific environment, enhancing its capabilities based on your project needs.
The current configuration settings for the environment are pre-selected by default, making it easy to adjust specific elements as needed.
The upgrade panel includes the Environment Configuration options, consistent with the settings available in the Step 3: Configure Application Details section during initial app creation. Changes can be applied by clicking "Save Changes" or discarded by selecting Cancel .
Billing adjustments are prorated for the remaining duration of the current billing cycle, as displayed in the summary panel to the right.
If the Database Backup Service was enabled during the initial creation of the environment, it remains locked and cannot be deselected in the upgrade configuration.
Deleting an Environment
The Delete button removes the selected environment (except Development) after confirmation:
- Available for all environments except Development.
- Requires entering the environment name in a confirmation dialog to prevent accidental deletions.
- Once deleted, the environment and its associated resources are removed, and the subscription is updated.
