Deployment Diagram Uml. In the context of the unified modeling language uml a deployment diagram falls under the structural diagramming family because it describes an aspect of the system itself. It portrays the static deployment view of a system.
A uml deployment diagram is a diagram that shows the configuration of run time processing nodes and the components that live on them. Nodes could be connected through communication pathsto create networked systems of arbitrary complexity. Most of the uml diagrams are used to handle logical components but deployment diagrams are made to focus on the hardware topology of a system.

It involves the nodes and their relationships. Uml deployment diagram the deployment diagram visualizes the physical hardware on which the software will be deployed. It maps software pieces of a system to the device that are going to execute it. The following nodes and edges are typically drawn in a uml deployment diagram.
