You're right, we are not using the same terms. I understand "automated
deployment" to include things like yum.
one does not leave out staging the deployment to a staging box/farm
You're restricting yourself to a subset of the real world here.
Staging systems do not make sense everywhere. I cannot justify creating
a staging system for my tax accountant client, where I installed a file
server. There's only the one server. For your idea to work, before
doing an OS upgrade, I'd have to have an identical spare machine just
sitting around idle for me to test on. Tax accountants are CHEAP. I
had a hard time talking the accountant into RAID. A duplicate testing
box, too? Please....
