• Aegir Hosting System: Deep Dive

  by Antoine Beaupré, Christopher Gervais and Sofian Benaissa

  The Aegir Hosting System is a scalable solution for deploying and managing Drupal sites.

  • Aegir's components and community
  • Installing, upgrading and debugging Aegir
  • Importing existing sites
  • Building a Drupal platform with Drush Make
