# Unified Deployment Guide

**Last Updated**: 2025-01-27
**Purpose**: Central deployment documentation and guides

---

## Overview

This document provides centralized deployment documentation and links to project-specific deployment guides.

---

## Deployment Platforms

### Azure
Projects deployed on Azure:
- the_order
- miracles_in_motion
- smom-dbis-138 (via Sankofa Phoenix)
- loc_az_hci (infrastructure)

### On-Premises (Proxmox)
Projects deployed on Proxmox:
- loc_az_hci infrastructure
- Sankofa Phoenix deployments
- smom-dbis-138 VMs

### Hybrid Cloud
Projects with hybrid deployment:
- loc_az_hci (Proxmox + Azure Arc)
- Sankofa Phoenix (multi-region)

### Kubernetes
Projects deployed on Kubernetes:
- dbis_core (recommended)
- the_order (AKS)
- smom-dbis-138 (AKS)

## Common Deployment Patterns

### Containerized Applications
- Docker containerization
- Kubernetes deployment
- Container registry (ACR/Docker Hub)

### Infrastructure as Code
- Terraform for infrastructure
- Helm charts for Kubernetes
- Bicep for Azure resources

### CI/CD Pipelines
- GitHub Actions workflows
- Automated deployments
- Environment promotion
- Rollback procedures

---

## Deployment Checklists

### Pre-Deployment
- [ ] Environment configured
- [ ] Dependencies installed
- [ ] Secrets configured
- [ ] Database migrations ready
- [ ] Tests passing

### Deployment
- [ ] Backup current deployment
- [ ] Deploy infrastructure
- [ ] Deploy application
- [ ] Run migrations
- [ ] Verify deployment

### Post-Deployment
- [ ] Health checks passing
- [ ] Monitoring configured
- [ ] Documentation updated
- [ ] Stakeholders notified

---

## Environment Management

### Environment Types
- **Development**: Local development
- **Staging**: Pre-production testing
- **Production**: Live environment

### Environment Configuration
- Environment variables
- Configuration files
- Secrets management
- Feature flags

---

## Monitoring & Observability

### Metrics
- Application metrics
- Infrastructure metrics
- Business metrics

### Logging
- Application logs
- Infrastructure logs
- Audit logs

### Alerting
- Error alerts
- Performance alerts
- Security alerts

---

## Rollback Procedures

### Automated Rollback
- CI/CD pipeline rollback
- Kubernetes rollback
- Database rollback

### Manual Rollback
- Infrastructure rollback
- Application rollback
- Data rollback

---

## Security Considerations

### Pre-Deployment
- Security scanning
- Dependency auditing
- Secret management
- Access control

### Deployment
- Secure communication
- Encrypted storage
- Network security
- Authentication/Authorization

### Post-Deployment
- Security monitoring
- Vulnerability scanning
- Incident response
- Security updates

---

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues
- Deployment failures
- Configuration errors
- Network issues
- Resource constraints

### Debugging
- Check logs
- Verify configuration
- Test connectivity
- Review metrics

---
