# Setting up Environments ## Environments Environments are abstractions, where the intent is as follows: 1. Secrets (Variables) can have environment-specific values if you wish to choose so. 2. Clusters can be mapped to an environment, thus creating a gate for CI/CD executions. 3. Microservices can have access to specific environments to prevent any unintentional deploys to any environment. ### Steps to Create an Environment 1.
