Whatis Software Deployment? • It is the process that covers post-development activities like configuration, release, installation, updating, adapting, reconfiguration and uninstallation. • In simple words Software deployment is all the activities that make a software system available for use.
Traditional Software Deployment Methods • The foot and hand model: • Run around on foot and install software by hand. • Only viable for small client base. • Expensive for the companies. • The self-service model: • The end users install the software themselves. • Scales well. • Low costs for the company. • Becomes difficult as the complexity of installation and configuration increases.
Requirements of Solution for software deployment • Incremental updates • Versioning • Automatic installation and configuration • Centralized Inventory • Decentralized Control • Security • Scalability • Support for heterogeneous environments • Live Updates • Licensing
Software Deployment life-cycle Producer-side processes • Release • Retire Customer-side processes • Install • Activate • Deactivate • Reconfigure • Update • Adapt • Remove The Software Deployment Life Cycle is an evolving collection of processes. These processes can either be performed on the software producer side or the customer side.
Software DeploymentProcess Release • Preparing • Packaging • Advertising Installation • Complex • Subactivities • transfer (or delivery) • Configuration Activation • Starting up the system components. • Require invocation of other tools
Software DeploymentProcess De- Activation • Inverse of activation • Required before other deployment activities. Update • special case of installation. • Less complex De- Installation • re-conguration of systems
Third statement Third statemen • EXAMPLE
Example • 3,576 computers • 1,750 in student or public areas • 1,826 in private offices or research labs • Automated software delivery • Big part of the company promise and solution • necessary to keep system administration scalable
Challenges Deployment of Windows Software • Reliable - installs properly or returns error report • Effective - fast, without user intervention and frustration • Automated - remotely managed, rebuild easily • Targeted - able to add software packages to specific group • Upgradeable - able to manage and deploy software upgrades • Removable - able to remove software reliably • Secure - must expose no new security risks
Possible Solutions • Manual installation • RoboCopy • Active Directory Group Policy Objects • Third party commercial solutions • Open Source solutions
