Modeling distribution and implementation
Use the Deployment diagram to model the configuration of run-time processing elements and the software components, processes, and objects that live on them.
In the Deployment diagram, you model the physical nodes and the communication associations that exist between them. Each node can contain run-time component instances, indicating that the component lives or runs on the node. You can also model the objects that are contained within the component.
