Average rating: **...
(2.00, 2 ratings)

Basically the material will focus on three areas regarding enterprise deployment; Security, Time, and Flexibility.

Security

  • A preconfigured installation = easier to keep secure
  • Automated installations = less human errors
  • No more patching right after installation of operating system

Time

  • No more application installation or configuration right after installation of operating system
  • Multiple machine installations = much easier
  • Automated installations are less administrator dependent = can be initialized by user
  • Easier to maintain and add applications to installations = only need to edit kickstart script
  • Installations can be 100% zero touch = Deploy during lunch…

Flexibility

  • Internet installations can be done from anywere in the world
  • Deployment process can be booted from CD/DVD/PXE/USB/Floppy
  • Answerfiles on webserver makes our bootmedia “immortal”
  • The complete installation is configurated in one single file (kickstart)
  • Support for pre- and postscript in kickstartfiles and how to use them
  • Better hardware support at time of installation
