Deploy Application on Hosts

If you want to scale out an application to a host that it is not yet deployed to, you may use this procedure. After you have deployed the application on the new hosts, you also must reconfigure bindings for the application so that the bindings allow for the application to start on the new hosts. To configure the bindings, use the procedure Configure Application.

An alternative to scaling out is that you want to move the application to a new host. In that case, you deploy the application to the new host, as described here, and later remove the application from the old host. An alternative to removing the application from the old host is to leave it there but just reconfigure the bindings so that it is not possible for the application to start on that host.

Note:  Consult the documentation of each application. Some applications do not support scale-out and there may be restrictions on what each application supports in terms of moving an application.
