Capistrano is a utility and framework for executing commands in parallel
|
||
|
|
on multiple remote machines, via SSH. It uses a simple DSL (borrowed in
|
||
|
|
part from Rake that allows you to define _tasks_), which may be applied
|
||
|
|
to machines in certain roles. It also supports tunneling connections via
|
||
|
|
some gateway machine to allow operations to be performed behind VPN's
|
||
|
|
and firewalls.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Capistrano was originally designed to simplify and automate deployment
|
||
|
|
of web applications to distributed environments, and originally came
|
||
|
|
bundled with a set of tasks designed for deploying Rails applications.
