Visual Studio passes IDeploymentContext to the CanExecute and Execute methods of deployment steps. A new deployment context is initialized at the start of a deployment and retraction operation.

The IDeploymentContext interface implements the IAnnotatedObject to enable deployment steps to store and pass data between steps.
