   ## <a id='properties'></a> Properties Block
   
  -**properties** [Hash, optional]: Describes global properties and general configuration information.
  -
  -Global properties allow BOSH to configure jobs to a specific environment. `properties` defined in the [Properties](#properties) block are accessible to all jobs. Any identically named `properties` in the [Instance groups](#instance-groups) block will override the global property for the jobs in that instance group.
  -
  -By default, general configuration information resides in the template spec file of a release job. If you move this information from the release into the manifest, you can reconfigure a deployment by changing the manifest instead of the release. To do this, add the general configuration information to the manifest in a sub-block of the Properties block.
  -
  -Typical general configuration information includes but is not limited to:
  -
  -* Port numbers
  -* Account names
  -* Shared secrets
  -* Passwords
  -
  -Example:
  -
  -```yaml
  -properties:
  -  redis:
  -    max_connections: 10
  -```
  -
  -### Job Property Precedence
  -
  -1. BOSH applies the properties in the job's spec file as defined by the release author.
  -1. If an identically named property exists in the [Properties](#properties) block of the deployment manifest, the value of this property overrides the previous value.
  -1. If an identically named property exists in the Properties sub-block of the [Instance groups](#instance-groups) block of the deployment manifest, the value of this property overrides all previous values.
  +**properties** [Hash, optional]: Describes global properties. Deprecated in favor of job level properties and links.
