I.e., the deployment equivalent to: make make install The copy-paste method from MSWord doc prevents fat finger typo errors, but does nothing for an ops. person skipping step 18 of 34 because step 17 took 47 minutes to complete and they forgot exactly where they were in the word doc in the interim. [1] This, of course requires the individual steps be created such that they can be monitored and output captured by the Bash (or other script language) to determine 'next steps' at each stage. Sadly, several of the steps in the word doc amount to "run this command" - note the output number from the command, give that value to the command in step 35 (where step 35 is some number of additional steps ahead in the word doc).
