Deploying to your production environment
For the best results, consider automating deployment of your components and configuration.
Automated deployment to your test environment enables you to quickly iterate your development and roll out new changes into testing. Removing the overheads of setting up a test environment by automating the process, gives your team more time to perform testing.
Automated deployment to your production environment helps reduce the risk of human error. By automating all the steps required to deploy your solution to production, you can easily test your deployment process. Automated deployment is quicker than manual deployment and can reduce the amount of down-time that a deployment might cause. Testing your automated deployment process gives you the chance to measure this down-time duration. You can use this information to appropriately set your service-level agreements.
