Can we merge Deployment and Instance? Both sound similar and confusing.

In software architecture and infrastructure, keeping Deployment and Instance separate is usually the better practice because they represent two different concepts:

1. Deployment (The 'How' and 'Where'): This defines the blueprint, environment configuration, version control, and the process of pushing the application live (e.g., Staging vs. Production deployment setups).
2. Instance (The 'What' is running): This is the actual runtime container, virtual machine, or live process executing that deployment. For example, a single "Production Deployment" can have multiple "Instances" (scaling horizontally) to handle heavy traffic.

Recommendation:
Instead of merging them, it might be cleaner to keep them separate but improve the UI/UX tooltips or documentation to clarify that a Deployment manages the configuration, while an Instance represents the active runtime environment.
