What is the best way to describe Deployment?

[Rocky31]

I have gone through splunk docs it is like a puzzle for me to know about deployment.
Can anyone give me perfect answer instead of posting links

[cmerriman]

as everyone has stated above, we'd need to know what type of deployment you're actually referring to, as you question is vague.
Generally speaking, deployment includes numerous connected processes that make the software work properly.

What are you looking for exactly? There are multiple deployment scenarios...

1) Single Instance (All In One. ) - One box does it all.. parsing, searching, indexing, license, deployment server...
2) Distributed Environment - 1+ indexers, 1+ search head, sometimes clustered, sometimes not, license master role, deployment server role, sometimes Search Head Clustering + deployer..

Now if youre talking about deploying Splunk, it looks like the above but depends on your environment...

Elaborate more on what exactly you're wanting to know, and we should be able to get a good answer to you!
