Key Concepts
Environment - A deployment target that applications can be deployed to. Each environment has its own configuration and can be associated with specific clusters.
Environment Names - Must be unique within your organization and cannot be changed after creation. Must start and end with lowercase character and only contain lowercase, numerical and hyphen characters.
Namespace - Each environment has a corresponding Kubernetes namespace with the same naming requirements.
Environment Types - Pre-release or Release types help categorize your deployment targets.
Visibility - All team members can view environments that belong to their organization.
