Currently, in Pipelines, we can declare a step as performing a “deployment” to a specific environment.

In some cases, we have a temporary deployment that we then bring down (ie undeploy) on a subsequent manual pipeline step. However, there is no way to indicate to Bitbucket that this deployment is no longer deployed.

Our use case if for testing the set up of a kubernetes cluster. We have everything fully defined in a repo, we test it and then we want to undeploy the cluster once we are done testing it, since there is a cost to continue running it.

There are a number of ways to support that. Once might be to use a minus at the end of the deployment name like:

deployment: test-

Or perhaps support something more obvious. Lots of ways to do it in the yaml.
