Onboarding Environment Lifecycle
| Info |

Unless otherwise indicated, environments are offered in matched pairs. |
Onboarding is the process leading up to a customer going live in Production (PROD). During this process, a series of short lived environments (also called ‘instances’) are created to support particular phases of onboarding. This guide describes these environments and clarifies their lifecycle.

There will be a Sandbox pair, a Validation pair and a Production pair. Exceptions are Demo, Pre-PROD, Migration and Community Dev, which are all provisioned as single instances.
