I recently have gotten the chance to sit down and use a fantastic little python module for rapid, remote deployment. Fabric, as it’s called, promises to streamline remote and SSH deployment processes and does just that. It’s been a fantastic tool for setting up a complex set of build/deploy instructions for multiple remote boxes that the company I work for uses. As I near completion of this project I will give a more thorough redux on exactly how I implemented Fabric to meet our needs, as well as likes, dislikes, and small shortcomings that I’ve happened upon in my travels through Fabric.
