+## Deployment Attributes
+<!-- semconv registry.deployment(omit_requirement_level) -->
+| Attribute  | Type | Description  | Examples  |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `deployment.environment` | string | Name of the [deployment environment](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Deployment_environment) (aka deployment tier). [1] | `staging`; `production` |
+
+**[1]:** `deployment.environment` does not affect the uniqueness constraints defined through
+the `service.namespace`, `service.name` and `service.instance.id` resource attributes.
+This implies that resources carrying the following attribute combinations MUST be
+considered to be identifying the same service:
+
+* `service.name=frontend`, `deployment.environment=production`
+* `service.name=frontend`, `deployment.environment=staging`.
