Clone an Environment
To duplicate an existing environment, run the following CLI command:
~/jelastic/environment/control/cloneenv --appid {src_env} --domain {new_env}
Before running the command: Confirm that the source environment name is correct and choose a unique name for the new environment copy.
Command Parameters
{src_env}
Name of the existing environment that should be cloned.
{new_env}
Name assigned to the new environment copy.
Replace both placeholders with actual environment names before executing the command.
Cloning Result
After the command is submitted, the platform creates a new environment in the same account. The cloned environment is similar to the source environment and becomes available after the cloning operation is completed.
The cloning process normally takes a few minutes. The completion time depends on the source environment size and configuration.
- Use the clone for a new application branch.
- Prepare another application version without changing the source environment.
- Test configuration or deployment changes in a separate copy.
