Software Deployment Schedule

This list assumes software that runs from a server environment. This list also assumes deployments that do not require alteration of the underlying system, for which we need to make more careful arrangements.

• Production and Staging Systems: Software deployments must be scheduled for Tuesday or Wednesday evenings between 6:00 and 9:00 pm.
• Production and Staging Systems: Software deployments must be emailed to isda-ops@mit.edu with at least 24 hours notice.
• Test Systems: Software deployments are made during normal support hours, 8am to 6pm.
• Test Systems: Software deployments requests must be made to isda-ops@mit.edu with at least 2 hours notice.
• Development Systems: Software developers are entitled to sufficient rights to deploy software to development environments.

System Access Rules: Only operational staff in ZIPS should have root access to any non-development system. Operational staff can be determined by reviewing the membership of isda-ops@mit.edu. Only operational staff and System Programmers have root access to prototype or development systems.
