Deployment Process
Current steps for deploying a service on the SCA cluster:

The table shows the deployment steps and their respective owners (executors), revealing a pretty high overhead for Ops. However, by restraining this discussion to the SCA cluster, the workflow can be greatly simplified and streamlined, especially taking into account the Service team's effort to template and standardise service configuration and execution. Hence, except steps (1) and (2), most of the workflow could be easily owned by the Services team.

Since then, the table has been updated with proposals on how to make this better and will keep on being updated while it is being worked on.
