This document discusses automated deployment using Fabric, a tool that streamlines SSH for application deployment. Fabric allows deploying code to multiple servers with less code than shell scripts and less mistakes than manual deployment. It demonstrates shutting down Tomcat, backing up files, uploading new code, and restarting Tomcat on remote servers with one command. Fabric installation and configuration are also covered, along with its APIs and how it saves time through one step deployment compared to manual processes.
