This session will discuss some approaches to this problem. The first part of the session will talk about the Deploy module complete with a live demo. After that I will discuss some possible approaches to solving this problem in Drupal 8 and take questions.
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.
