"Automating" deployment? To what degree do you expect this to be automated?
I can't think of any situation in which you'd want deployment to be done without observation and testing during the process.
Can you elaborate on what sort of process you are expecting?

Dear All,
We are building a somewhat complex site based on Drupal which features redundant servers at all levels of the system. We are starting of with 12 machines. We currently have three environments: development, staging and production.
We are having a hard time setting an automated deployment mechanism.
I have searched on the archives but was able to find this thread only: http://lists.drupal.org/pipermail/support/2007-May/004711.html
I have not been able to understand from that how other people out there are implementing automated deployment.
I found a number of links outside drupal.org:

I have been working with Drupal's DEPLOY Module (http://drupal.org/project/deploy). Also I am trying to contact Workhabit (i.e. Autopilot guys).
I have not found yet a solid approach to automate deployment. Would anyone through me some pointers on how to do it? How are you guys doing this?
Thank you so much, unai -- [ Drupal support list | http://lists.drupal.org/ ]
