Deployment process

The deployment process is divided into four distinct phases:

• Phase 1: Designing the deployment
• Phase 2: Installing and configuring the components
• Phase 3: Validating the deployment
• Phase 4: Tuning and maintaining the deployment to improve performance

  During each phase of deployment, you must document all aspects of the deployment that could be required to re-create, troubleshoot, and reconfigure the installation.
