Software deploymentSoftware deployment is all of the activities that make a software system available for use. Deployment can involve activities on the producer (software developer) side or on the consumer (user) side or both. Deployment to consumers is a hard task because the target systems are diverse and unpredictable. Software as a service avoids these difficulties by deploying only to dedicated servers that are typically under the producer's control.
