How to manage hundreds of cloud environments and live to tell?
A cloud environment in Altostra is a combination of a cloud account, region, parameters, and policies that creates a logical separation between application deployments, to enable managing multiple cloud environments on a single cloud account or more.

Using Altostra Environments helps our users easily manage and deploy projects in different accounts and regions, and sometimes even run multiple environments in the same region under the same account.
As more and more users started utilizing Altostra Environments, one of the most requested feature of our users (as well as some of our developers) was the simple duplication of the environment. So from now on, you can duplicate any environment you have in any other account/region (or even in the same one), with the entire environment configuration at the click of a button.
Altostra "Environment" consists of the following attributes:
- The name of the environment.
- The account and region of this environment.
- Environment Variables (optional).
- Optional policies that determine certain aspects and additional capabilities.
Copying an existing environment using Altostra
- Log in to your Altostra team account
- Click on Environments -> View all environments
- Click the three-dot menu for one of your environments in the table and select the Copy option

You can also copy the environment by clicking the Copy Environment button on the specific environment page.
