RE: Liferay7 Auto deployment in clustering nodes

HI All,

As we are done with liferay 7.3 clustering in two nodes and every thing is working fine with out any issue.

So now our major concern is with deployments , at the time of deployments it is consuming lot of time as we are doing deployments in both the nodes manually 

So we are thinking for automation deployments and mean while we found a farm configuration but we are unable to find the exact document on that.

Can any one suggest best tool for automation deployments in liferay7 clustering. for example in one short deployment should done in both the nodes.

Regards.

I know that Tomcat uses "Farm" deployments, but they're not the same as Liferay's.

Liferay has no means to implement parallel deployments. You'll have to do that on your own, fully depending on your setup and policies.

There are customers who never hot-deploy into a running server. If they're using Docker, they use reproducible builds, so that they are always sure which exact software they have running. DXPCloud does the same. While this way deployment requires a restart, the reproducibility are deemed to be worth it.

If you want to implement your own filecopy/synchronization: Go ahead. How you do it will depend on your individual deployment situation.
