Presented by Mark Sonnabaum Moshe Weitzman From small sites to large, drush is an essential tool in a drupal deployment strategy. Many of us are already using commands like rsync, sql-sync, features-revert, and updatedb as steps in our deployment workflow. Tools to manage deployments however are often varied (capistrano, fabric, puppet, chef, hudson, etc), and foreign (ruby/python). In this session, the maintainers of drush will introduce a new tool for managing deployments: drush deploy. This tool does some of what those tools do, all in a comfortable drush and PHP environment. Intended audience All developers and sysadmins. Questions answered by this session How can drush help automate tasks during deployment? Why should I be using a deployment tool? What is drush deploy? How can drush deploy simplify drupal deployments? Who is drush deploy best suited for compared to other deployment tools?
