Session in official program
This session will illustrate the use of the Aegir hosting system to simplify the life of developers and administrators, by automating a lot of the common tasks involved in deploying sites and collecting best practices of Drupal sites management.
Aegir is a distributed provisioning system for Drupal that allows you to manage thousands of sites across as many concurrent instances of Drupal on as many servers as you need. It's built on Drupal itself, so that your user interface to the system becomes a 'meta-drupal' site, with nodes representing all of your hosted sites and all of the components of your hosting environment.
Whether you are new to Aegir (or Drupal!) or an experienced developer, you will get a very good idea of where we are in the development of this project and the latest new features we are giving to the community.
