Features of DropkicK

Describe your deployment in Fluent C#.

You can describe your deployment in an almost natural language. You talk about what you want to happen without knowing physically where it may be happpening. In this sense, DK is almost declarative.

Separation of What From Where

You explain in a code deployment plan what you want to happen on a deployment of a role. You put the actual where information in settings files that are targeted to a particular environment. Since these settings files are just javascript, they can be adjusted at run time if necessary.

There is nothing to install

You can just download the bits of DropkicK and start using it. No installation necessary.

FREE

It costs you nothing to use, the license is developer friendly (Apache 2.0). So you can use it with confidence at your place of business without worry that you haven't met some agreement.

##Open Source Find a bug? Fix it and submit a path. Or let us know on the issues list. You want to discuss something about dk? Drop us a line on the mailing list

No applications/services/listeners to run on remote hosts.

Because DK can do remote execution at will, there is nothing that needs to be installed on the servers you are deploying to. This is good because it allows you to change your targets on a whim and there is nothing more to do than change your settings.
