Activity: Create Deployment Unit
Purpose
- A deployment unit consists of a build (an executable collection
of components), documents (end-user support material and release notes)
and installation artifacts. The purpose of this activity is to create a
deployment unit that is sufficiently complete to be downloadable,
installable and run on
a node as a group.

All project artifacts are physically stored in the project repository, and
logically organized in accordance with the product directory structure.
The deployment unit contains all the deliverable items, and these are listed in
the Bill of Materials.
In this activity, the Configuration Manager creates a copy of the deliverable
items, baselined and under version control in the project repository, onto
the necessary media for deployment on the target environment. The necessary
media could be a CD-ROM, or in the case of a web-downloadable product a zipped
copy available for download.
