Edge Security Acceleration:Get started with version management

Create an environment

1. In the ESA console, choose Websites, then click the target site in the Website column.

2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Version Management > Environments > Create Environment.

3. Edit the Environment Name, Traffic Filter for This Environment, and Initial Position, then click OK.

   Note

   • If the environment is first in order, you can edit the version deployed in it.

   • You can modify traffic filters for all environments except the production environment.

Create a version

After enabling version management, Version 0 is created automatically.

You can clone an existing version to create a new, independent version. Changes made to the new version do not affect your current site traffic.

1. In the ESA console, navigate to Websites and click the target site in the Website column.

2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Version Management > Versions > Clone, and then click OK.

Upgrade environment versions

After validating your configuration in the development and staging environments, you can upgrade the environment versions as needed.

1. In the ESA console, choose Websites, and then click the target site in the Website column.

2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Version Management > Environments.

3. Click Promote, starting with the lowest-priority environment (development) and proceeding to the highest-priority environment (production).

Feature availability

When you clone a site version via version management, its configuration rules count toward your overall plan rule quota.
