8. What Do You Need?
 New Code
 New Configuration
 New Database Schema
 New Static Files

9. A Lot To Remember
 Did you remember to upload ALL new files?

 In the upload process, was your configuration overwritten?
 Did you upload ALL the changed files?
 Do you have several environments?

12. Automation!
 Build scripts!
 We are programmers after all…

13. What Is Automation?
 Automated deployment means a single command
 Locks your live site
 Uploads changed files
 Clears caches and temporary files
 Updates the database schema
 Runs other cron tasks
 Unlocks your live site
 …
 Profit

14. Why Do We Automate?
 Deployment is tricky
 Repetition degrades quality
 She sells sea shells by the sea shore

15. When Is Automation Used?
 All the time!
 Staging
 Live
 Probably best to use it on your test/dev box too!
