Deployment View

The deployment view shows the physical arrangement of nodes. A node is a runtime computational resource, such as a computer or other device. The deployment view may highlight performance bottlenecks due to placement of artifacts manifesting interdependent components on different nodes.

Deployment Diagram

A deployment diagram shows the configuration of run-time processing nodes and the components that live on them. Deployment diagrams address the static deployment view of a system.

The UML treats an artifact diagram as a type of deployment diagram that illustrates the physical parts of a system. Artifacts include files, databases and similar physical collections of things. Artifacts can also show the classes and components that they implement.
