Asimov Deploy is a simple distributed deployment tool that enables you to deploy applications to multiple machines through a simple to use web interface. Actual deploymentents are handled on each machine by the locally installed deploy agent.

• Deploy windows services and IIS Web Applications or Sites
• Automate load balancer and view load balancer status together with deploy units / machine status.

Windows deploy agent features

• HTTP API
• Talks to Deploy UI through HTTP
• Deploy Windows Services
• Deploy IIS Web Applications or Sites
• Execute Powershell scripts included in deploy package
• Automate load balancer (enable / disable machine in load balancer)
  • Currently only supports Alteon, but support for more is on the way.
• Execute phantomjs (& casper.js) verify & web site warmup scripts (and report progress & status to web UI)
• Deploy logs & history
• Package management
  • Hard drive / fileshare zip files (version / branch / commit can be extracted from filename)
  • Nuget support (not completed yet)
• Automatic update of deploy agent

Deploy UI Features

• List deploy units from all agents that have reported in
• User can select a version to deploy to a specific machine
