# Deployment uses SFTP by default when you use deploy_via :copy, and there
# doesn't seem to be any way to configure it.  Unfortunately, we don't run
# SFTP on our servers, so it fails.  This forces it to use SCP instead.

== Rules ==
 On Infrastructure
 -----------------
 There is one system, not a collection of systems.
 The desired state of the system should be a known quantity.
 The "known quantity" must be machine parseable.
 The actual state of the system must self-correct to the desired state.
 The only authoritative source for the actual state of the system is the system.
 The entire system must be deployable using source media and text files.
