Multi Tier Deployment

Hi,

 I am trying to understand the best approach for deployment to a multi tier application using the AppVeyor deployment agent.

For example, lets say I have a project that contains 3 artifacts zip files.

I wish to deploy "artifact1" to "server 1" and "server 2", "artifact2" to "server 3", and "artifact3" to "workstation 1".

How best would we configure our YML/Deployment environment to achieve this outcome. Would it be best to use powershell in this instance, and would the Agent download all artifacts to each server/workstation and then work out what to deploy?

Cheers,
Jonathan

   Hi Jonathan,

   First, you should have 4 environments defined on Environments page. "Server 1" and "Server 2" environments have the same "Environment access key" as it's kinda cluster for hosting the same artifact "artifact1". All 4 environments have appropriate settings for 3 artifacts (deploy as website, service, etc.).

   Then in appveyor.yml you could have something like:

   - provider: Environment
     name: server 1
   - provider: Environment
     name: server 2
   - provider: Environment
     name: server 3
   - provider: Environment
     name: workstation 1
