What it is for
Deployment (supplementary)
Why a specialized view helps
C4 views are zoom levels of one model; a dedicated tool keeps each level consistent with the next instead of redrawing boxes by hand.

What is visible: Courier Tracking's production deployment: dashed deployment nodes nested around the load balancer and the container instances they host, fitted and then **zoomed in once** so the nesting reads, so the top and bottom of the drawing are cut off; Toolbox showing Deployment Node, Infrastructure Node, Container Instance and Software System Instance. The industrial plant's deployment is denser and fits to a picture too small to read, hence the other corpus. Nothing selected.
Why it matters: The production deployment nests each deployment node around what it hosts, from the load balancer down to the container instances, so the infrastructure is read straight from the Structurizr workspace the other C4 views come from.
