Summary
The first part of this document gives you a relevant background to map the current landscape of
possibilities and the tendencies of the organization. It also gives you an overall representation of the
aspects needed by a deployment framework. These are provided to perform a self-assessment and
survey approach.
The second part of this document presents an example architecture using the background information
to provide such an implementation. Any number of other possibilities exists, but the solution outlined
provides both a target to emulate and an example of how to utilize many tools to coherently provide
such a deployment framework. Many other tools and combinations exist, but these are beyond the
scope of this paper.
