Will there be support for deployments to a (test) environment per branch?

In the early release, it's not possible: the 3 default environments are at the moment just for the repository, not per branch. You can deploy from multiple branches to the same environment though. Can you elaborate on why this would be helpful for you?

Branch-specific test environments would allow regression testing to happen _before_ changes get merged (I've used Travis to do this). I would love to have this kind of test isolation in our CI environment.

You can do this already in Bitbucket Pipelines and your preferred PaaS provider -- just set up a manual step on your branch pipeline to deploy it. We built Deployments to help teams track changes in their _shared_ environments, which is where most of the value for tracking is.

Who would want to see a history of deployments for a branch-specific environment? What information would they be looking for?

My main pain point with deployment is with servers that are not directly accessible from the Internet. For example, an EC2 instance that sits in a private section of an AWS VPC. Accessing the server is done through a Bastion server/Jumpbox. AWS CodeDeploy is the only solution I've found in this environment and it sucks. Can the new system ssh proxy through a Bastion server?
