Velocity Environments

The running version, or instance, of your application. An environment can span both local and cloud-hosted resources, and it contains the various services that make up your application.
Velocity presents a visual representation of your environment blueprint.

Environment Groups

Environment Groups enable you to organize your services into logical groups, which can make environment creation and management easier.

  1. 1.
    Open the Velocity Account Settings Dashboard
  2. 2.

You can create a new environment by using the --group <groupName> flag when using the velocity CLI create command. The --group flag specifies a group of services that will be included in the environment from the Environment Groups.
Please note that you can use either --group or the shorthand -g option flags.
veloctl env create [environment-name] --group <groupName>

Updating an existing environment using Environment Groups

You can create a new environment by using the --group <groupName> flag when using the velocity CLI update command. The --group flag specifies a group of services that will be included in the environment from the Environment Groups.
Please note that you can use either --group or the shorthand -g option flags.
veloctl env update [environment-name] -g <groupName>
