    A deployment diagram models how software applications are deployed to hardware infrastructure in a system. It shows the physical topology of nodes, devices, and artifacts and how software components are distributed across the infrastructure and communicate between nodes. Common elements include nodes to represent hardware, components for software, and communication associations between nodes. Deployment diagrams are used by system administrators and engineers to plan system deployment and understand physical system topology.

    What is Deployment Diagram

    The deployment diagram is mostly employed by network engineers, system administrators, etc. with the purpose of
    representing the deployment of software on the hardware system. It envisions the interaction of the software with the hardware
    to accomplish the execution. The selected hardware must be of good quality so that the software can work more efficiently at a
    faster rate by producing accurate results in no time.
    The software applications are quite complex these days, as they are standalone, distributed, web-based, etc. So, it is very
    necessary to design efficient software.
    Deployment diagrams can be used for the followings:
    1. To model the network and hardware topology of a system.
    2. To model the distributed networks and systems.
    3. Implement forwarding and reverse engineering processes.
    4. To model the hardware details for a client/server system.
    5. For modelling the embedded system.

    Deployment diagrams are typically used to visualize the physical hardware and software of a system. Using it you can
    understand how the system will be physically deployed on the hardware.
    Deployment diagrams help model the hardware topology of a system compared to other UML diagram types which mostly
    outline the logical components of a system.

    Deployment Diagram Notations

    In order to draw a deployment diagram, you need to first become familiar with the following deployment diagram notations and
    deployment diagram elements.
    Nodes

    A node, represented as a cube, is a physical entity that executes one or more components, subsystems or executables. A node
    could be a hardware or software element.
    Artifacts

    Artifacts are concrete elements that are caused by a development process. Examples of artifacts are libraries, archives,
    configuration files, executable files etc.

    Communication Association
    This is represented by a solid line between two nodes. It shows the path of communication between nodes.
    Devices

    A device is a node that is used to represent a physical computational resource in a system. An example of a device is an
    application server.
    Deployment Specifications

    Deployment specifications is a configuration file, such as a text file or an XML document. It describes how an artifact is
    deployed on a node.
    How to Draw a Deployment Diagram
    Step 1: Identify the purpose of your deployment diagram. And to do so, you need to identify the nodes and devices within the
    system you’ll be visualizing with the diagram.
    Step 2: Figure out the relationships between the nodes and devices. Once you know how they are connected, proceed to add
    the communication associations to the diagram.
    Step 3: Identify what other elements like components, active objects you need to add to complete the diagram.
    Step 4: Add dependencies between components and objects as required.

    Deployment diagram elements
    A variety of shapes make up deployment diagrams. This list offers an overview of the basic elements you may encounter, and
    you can see most of these items illustrated in the image below.

     Artifact: A product developed by the software, symbolized by a rectangle with the name and the word “artifact” enclosed by
    double arrows.
     Association: A line that indicates a message or other type of communication between nodes.
     Component: A rectangle with two tabs that indicates a software element.
     Dependency: A dashed line that ends in an arrow, which indicates that one node or component is dependent on another.
     Interface: A circle that indicates a contractual relationship. Those objects that realize the interface must complete some sort
    of obligation.
     Node: A hardware or software object, shown by a three-dimensional box.
     Node as container: A node that contains another node inside of it—such as in the example below, where the nodes contain
    components.
     Stereotype: A device contained within the node, presented at the top of the node, with the name bracketed by double
    arrows.
     

    Deployment diagram symbols and notation


    Use these shapes as you build UML deployment diagrams.

    Nodes

    There are two types of nodes in a deployment diagram: device nodes and
    execution environment nodes. Device nodes are computing resources with
    processing capabilities and the ability to execute programs. Some examples of
    device nodes include PCs, laptops, and mobile phones.

    An execution environment node, or EEN, is any computer system that resides


    within a device node. It could be an operating system, a JVM, or another servlet
    container.
    Database

    Databases represent any data stored by the deployed system. In some


    instances, you'll see a database represented as just another node, but sometimes
    you will see this shape as a database.

    Other shapes

     Communication path: A straight line that represents communication between


    two device nodes.
     Artifacts: A box with the header ">" and then the name of the file.
     Package: A file-shaped box that groups together all the device nodes to
    encapsulate the entire deployment.
     Component: An entity required to execute a stereotype function. Take a look at
    this guide for UML component notation.
