Using Hudson to Reduce Deployment and Maintenance Costs

Deploying a Drupal application across multiple environments is a time consuming, error prone undertaking. Hudson is gaining popularity in the Drupal community as an easy-to-use tool that automates and monitors repeated build tasks. Leveraging Hudson can streamline development life cycles and lower costs by aiding proper deployment workflows, improving code reliability, and facilitating communication across the team. Non-technical people can also benefit from Husdon's simple user interface and intuitive reporting tools.

This presentation will highlight the capabilities of Hudson when used with Drupal so technical thought leaders can adopt new processes that will improve the efficiency of their team. In addition, installation and configuration instructions will be discussed to help break down some of the barriers for the people who will be implementing the new technology. Live demonstrations will be used to illustrate the benefits of using Hudson with Drupal in the real world.
