  • Web deployment functions and interfaces
    Patent number: 8700750
    Abstract: Described is a technology in which a destination machine (e.g., a server) is synchronized with source data via an API, including to configure the destination machine. The API includes functions for specifying the source data, the destination machine, and the deployment/synchronization type, along with a function for synchronizing the source data to the destination machine. The API allows combining content, configuration data and/or database data into a single unit (object). The API handles communication with a service/agent on the destination machine that configures that destination machine based on the source data. The API may include functions for packaging web applications, deploying web applications, synchronizing websites, deploying archive data, and/or deploying manifest data. In this manner, deployment/synchronization (including backup operations) may be performed against a group of objects using an API.
