> Is there any total noobs guide to automated deployment? Everything I have seen to this day assumes some knowledge of sysops and the whole ecosystem of that specific deployment tool (e.g. like it assumes I knew what is a 'cookbook', or where to find them, etc).
You need to have some knowledge of sysops to use automated deployment tools. I guess it's why they were created in the first place, i.e. not for beginners but for those with enough knowledge/skill to automate tedious sys admin tasks. Perhaps the best solution for you is to use a PaaS like Heroku, EngineYard, Google App Engine, etc.
- hdra 14y agoI am currently using Heroku for live apps, and it is indeed simple enough to use without having to do all these things, but one thing that I intend to use is to automate my VMs setup. I am currently using Vagrant to automate some system configuration such as security keys and port forwarding, but I still install all my packages manually. I am not looking to be so proficient that I can handle a production server, but I do wish that I can automate some of my development workflow.
