| Abstract | Advanced IT solutions allow users to create, organize and share user services and computing resources across a wide range of heterogeneous platforms. This makes managing (updating and deploying) the IT systems considerably more complex. Management tasks are so entangled within the existing components that it requires a IT professional with advanced training and intimate knowledge of the existing configuration to complete them. In this chapter, we will present the deployment solution for a live complex IT system, the Emergency Services Directory (ESD). Many different technologies exist that attempt automate the application deployment process by allowing a user to describe the dependencies, provide the configuration parameters, and specify the application’s required technologies, such as the operating system, database or Web server technology. ESD’s deployment solution takes advantage of the benefits provided by virtualization, and virtual appliances in particular. Each of ESD’s components are wrapped and contained with in a virtual appliance image. To automatically distribute and deploy the virtual appliance image on-demand, we utilize the Cyberaide Creative tool, which is a tool being developed in the on-going Cyberaide project. |
