With environment aliases we introduce a powerful addition to our developer toolbelt.

An environment alias allows you to access and modify the data of an environment, called the target environment, through a different static identifier. Aliases and target environments can be used to enhance your development and deployment workflows. For example, you can safely apply content model changes and roll them back when necessary or use them in your CI/CD pipelines.

Currently, only one alias with the identifier master is provided. It allows to define which environment should be used for production purposes – it previously used to be your master environment.

Access to environment aliases is currently limited to selected organizations.

For more information please check out our Content Management API docs or our environment alias concept article.
