Umbraco Cloud uses a deployment model based on Git, Kudu, and Umbraco Deploy core technology to move changes between environments. This follows a "left to right" model. Changes start in the local or left-most environment and are deployed to the production environment.

### Types of Deployments

**Deployment Types:**
22
+
***Schema Deployment:** Schema is stored in a Git repository. These are **deployed** between environments using a Git client or the Umbraco Cloud Portal.
23
+
***Content and Media Transfer:** Content and Media items are not stored in the Git repository. They must be **transferred** directly from the Umbraco backoffice using the **Queue for Transfer** option. Once queued, use the **Deployment** Dashboard in the **Content** section to complete the transfer.

***Metadata Deployment:** Metadata, including Document Types, Templates, Forms, Views, and config files, is stored in a Git repository. These are **deployed** between environments using a Git client or the Umbraco Cloud Portal.

***Content and Media Transfer:** Content and Media items are **not** stored in the Git repository. Instead, they must be **transferred** directly from the Umbraco backoffice using the **Queue for Transfer** option. Once all required items are queued, the **Deployment** Dashboard in the **Content** section is used to complete the transfer.
