# Deployment and Clustering

WebLogic Workshop applications are deployed to WebLogic Server in the form of enterprise application archive (EAR) files. You can deploy a WebLogic Workshop EAR either to a single instance of WebLogic Server or to a cluster of WebLogic Servers.

Cluster configurations do not support iterative development. Therefore, if you want to develop and test applications against a WebLogic server, configure WebLogic Workshop to use a single server belonging to a workshop enabled domain running in development mode.

The topics in this section explain how to generate an EAR file for a WebLogic Workshop project and deploy it, either to a single instance of WebLogic Server, or to a cluster of WebLogic Servers.
