“Deployment” might be a good term to use in that situation—while a bit vague (for example, a Jenkins deployment could include multiple controllers), it is still more specific than “environment” or “instance,” which could be referring to just about anything, even an instance of a Java object (of which there are thousands within a controller JVM process). Most of the usages I found really did mean “controller” (e.g., logging into an instance controller), but in rare cases where precision is required and “deployment” is too vague then perhaps one could use the more laborious phrase “controller and agents.”

Thank you, Basil.

I must admit, I frequently use it in my blog posts.

What term would you use to refer to the combination of a controller, one or more agents, and/or clouds?

Thanks for the clarification. 👍
