Automate Deployment Process/Set up Continuous Delivery

[ProfessorTom]

This may need to be two tickets with the line of demarcation being the / in the ticket name.

The deployment first needs to be automated, that is to say that deployment can happen by running a single script/command. Of course that script can call other scripts.

Once such a script/command exists, it should then be added as a step or pipeline in the Continuous Integration tool. Once this step is accomplished, then so-called “push button” deployments should exist; that is to say, pushing one single button should be all it takes to deploy code from a branch, presumably master.

At that point, the opportunity will exist for merges to master to be automatically pushed into production; however, that may only make sense if a Blue/Green environment is first set up.
