ServerTemplate
|
A RightScale-specific, reusable component that defines the characteristics of a cloud server in a way that is repeatable across multiple servers, clouds, and deployments. A ServerTemplate includes one or more MultiCloud Images used to define an operating system and supporting applications for the server, and a collection of RightScripts or Chef recipes that install select applications and define configuration settings and other attributes. See also Chef Recipe, MultiCloud Image (MCI), and RightScript.

Deployment
|
A logical, user-defined grouping of servers. Typically, servers in a deployment work together, belong to the same project or project phase (such as testing, staging, or production), share similar input values, or all of these.

|
ServerArray
|
A collection of properties and attributes defining one or more identically configured virtual machines running in the cloud. Enables Auto-scaling.

|
MultiCloud Image (MCI)
|
A RightScale object used to group and reference similar machine images—typically with identical operating systems, operating system versions, and so on—across multiple public and private clouds. MultiCloud Images (MCIs) are key components of ServerTemplates, and indicate which combinations of operating systems, versions, supporting applications, etc., have been tested with a ServerTemplate. They also help users choose a supported software platform for new servers, based on matching machine images already installed on their target cloud.
