Dear All,<br>
<br>
We are building a somewhat complex site based on Drupal which features<br>
redundant servers at all levels of the system. We are starting of with 12<br>
machines. We currently have three environments: development, staging and<br>
production.<br>
<br>
We are having a hard time setting an automated deployment mechanism.<br>
<br>
I have searched on the archives but was able to find this thread only:<br>

<br>
I have not been able to understand from that how other people out there are<br>
implementing automated deployment.<br>

I have been working with Drupal's DEPLOY Module<br>
(<a href="http://drupal.org/project/deploy" target="_blank">http://drupal.org/project/deploy</a>). Also I am trying to contact Workhabit<br>
(i.e. Autopilot guys).<br>
<br>
I have not found yet a solid approach to automate deployment. Would anyone<br>
through me some pointers on how to do it? How are you guys doing this?<br>
<br>
Thank you so much,<br>
