Deployment Frameworks

For anyone responsible for the deployment of software, many converging factors (such as cloud deployments, continuous delivery initiatives, open source) are colliding that introduce complexity and add risk to the deployment process. Deployment automation is no longer an optional task and has become a de facto requirement in the software development process.

Deployment tools or frameworks streamline the process of distributing software and updates, usually via scheduling or automation, so that developers can focus on more critical tasks. They also allow developers to collaborate on projects, track progress, and manage changes.
