One Cap to rule 'em all ...

Wondering which cap it could be?
....Well its Capistrano :D

I am a fan of Capistrano from way back and we use it for almost all kind of deployments - Hadoop, MongoDB clusters and so on.
If you have not tried Capistrano, you must try it and figure out how you can use for deployments in your environment.

Its highly configurable - so capify your stuffs!

Checkout the capified scripts to Deploy a replicated sharded MongoDB cluster on AWS EC2 instances in the following link
