# Setting up Environments

## Environments <a href="#environments" id="environments"></a>

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 <a href="#steps-to-create-an-environment" id="steps-to-create-an-environment"></a>

1. Once you log in to Ozone, select **Resources** on the left-side bar under **Setup**. After clicking on Resources a menu appears, click on **Environments** to open the new modal window.

5. Once the Environment is Successfully been created it will be shown in the form of a tabular list, as shown below. In the table list, you can see what type of environment is created.
