Note on deprecated videos

Please note that Aegir is a constantly evolving project under heavy development. Many of these videos contain footage and information that is deprecated (out of date or obsolete) compared to current versions of Aegir.

These older videos are maintained here for historical purposes, but should not be relied upon to successfully use or install Aegir. You should always refer to the Install documentation and the INSTALL.txt of the latest release of Aegir at the time you are reading this, as it is likely that much has changed since these videos were published.

Need help?

Always ask for help if you are not sure on how to install or use Aegir! These videos are a supplementary guide or demonstration of specific features only.

This session will illustrate the use of the Aegir hosting system to simplify the life of developers and administrators, by automating a lot of the common tasks involved in deploying sites.

Aegir is a distributed provisioning system for Drupal that allows you to manage thousands of sites across as many concurrent instances of Drupal on as many servers as you need. It's built on Drupal itself, so that your user interface to the system becomes a 'meta-drupal' site, with nodes representing all of your hosted sites and all of the components of your hosting environment.

If you have built your own custom niche application using Drupal, and need to be able to roll out new sites quickly and efficiently, as well ask keeping them up to date, this presentation is definitely for you.

If you have more than a handful of sites, and feel your hair stand on end every time a security release is announced, this presentation is for you.

Even if you only have a few sites, and would like to be able to spend less time on the tedious manual tasks associated with running a Drupal site over it's entire lifetime, you will still find something of use in this presentation.

If you've looked at Aegir in the past, and would like to get a sense of the progress made by the project (two major releases since Drupalcon DC), this presentation is a good way to get a grasp on where we are heading.

For more information on Aegir, check out the Aegir user group and keep up to date with the Aegir posts on developmentseed.org.

In Norse mythology, Aegir was the god of the oceans and if a Drupal site is a drop of water, Aegir is the deity of large bodies of water.
