Summary

When you perform a deployment review, make sure that you review the configuration of the underlying infrastructure on which the application is deployed and the configuration of the application itself. Review the network, host, and application configuration and, where possible, involve members of the various teams including infrastructure specialists, administrators and developers.

Use the configuration categories identified in this chapter to help focus the review. These categories include patches and updates, services, protocols, accounts, files and directories, shares, ports, registry, and auditing and logging.
