# Managing CDN deployments

Deployments are containers for your CDN domains. Learn how to organise and manage them effectively.

## What is a deployment?

A CDN deployment is a logical grouping of domains that share configuration and analytics. You might organise deployments by:

- **Project:** one deployment per website or application
- **Environment:** separate deployments for staging and production
- **Client:** if managing multiple clients, one deployment per client

## Creating a deployment

1. Navigate to **CDN** in the main menu.
2. Click **Deploy CDN**.
3. Enter a descriptive name for your deployment.
4. Click **Create Deployment**.

## Deployment dashboard

Each deployment has its own dashboard showing:

- **Domains:** all domains configured for this deployment
- **Cache hit rate:** percentage of requests served from cache
- **Requests:** total requests over the selected time period
- **Bandwidth:** total data transferred

## Deployment status

Deployments can have the following statuses:

- `active`: the deployment is live and serving traffic
- `provisioning`: the deployment is being set up (usually takes a few seconds)
- `suspended`: the deployment has been suspended (contact support)

## Deleting a deployment

When you delete a deployment, all associated domains are removed and traffic stops being served immediately.

> [!CAUTION]
> **This action cannot be undone.** Deleting a deployment immediately stops serving all domains. Make sure you've updated your DNS records before deleting.

1. Navigate to the deployment you want to delete.
2. Click the **Delete** button in the top right.
3. Confirm the deletion in the modal.
