What an environment is
Lesson 41 of 201 · 1 min
An environment is an instance of Cloud EPM or Cloud EDM. It hosts one business process, has its own URL, its own data, its own maintenance window and its own backup. What it inherits from Module 3: its identity domain, its region, its compartment, its cloud account. What it owns itself: the application, the data, the appearance, the maintenance schedule, the snapshots. ONE ENVIRONMENT, ONE BUSINESS PROCESS. Third appearance in this course, deliberately. It is the fact that determines estate size — and therefore workload — so it is the fact worth over-teaching. And what "creating an environment" actually gives you: an empty instance. The business process comes in Module 5. One thing to carry forward: an environment's name is in its URL forever. Lesson 5 covers what that means, and by then it will be too late to change it, which is why it is being said now.
