Deployment
Deployment Strategy
Described in the Implentation Plan.
Fairly straightforward to take a copy of the tomcat directoy, and then run the Bamboo plan. Should it become necessary to restore MyEd, copy the backup back into tomcat webapps.
Dependencies
No dependency on any systems outside the MyEd environment.
