## Introduction

Vlad is an excellent deployment tool for Ruby On Rails projects.

Read about deployment with Vlad:

    http://dennisreimann.de/blog/deployment-with-vlad/

    http://rubyhitsquad.com/Vlad_the_Deployer.html

What we like about Vlad:

  * Pragmatic application deployment automation.

  * Like Capistrano yet with 1/10th the complexity.

  * Uses the right tool for the job: ssh, rsync, rake.

  * Exec remote commands on one or more servers.

  * Syncs files to one or more servers.

  * Can combine local and remote tasks.

  * Test driven design. Runs incredibly fast.

This repository has our annotated Vlad deploy file. It is open source and you can customize it however you like.
