# Create Environment Without Deploy

> Use the preventAutoDeploy flag in env zero's Create Environment API or Terraform Provider to create environments without triggering an immediate deployment run.

The default behavior of env0 immediately deploying environments upon creation might not suit all users' workflows. Some pipelines require additional configuration before deployment.

# Create Environment Without Deploy

Streamline your CI/CD workflow in env0 with `preventAutoDeploy`. This new [Create Environment API](/api-reference/) capability enables you to create environments prepared for continuous deployment (CD) while preventing immediate execution, giving you more control over your pipeline.

This new capability is available to both API users and those using [env0 Terraform Provider](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/env0/env0/latest/docs/resources/environment).
