• Security is the basic reason why the JS7 deployment scripts ship as shell scripts and not from a high level programming language that might require installation and updates. Transparency and adjustability are key. Users are free to modify deployment scripts at their will and to request changes within the scope of SOS professional services.
• The source of JS7 installation tarballs is a major concern. Basically the installer scripts for JS7 components offer to download components on demand from the SOS Web Site. Users are discouraged to make use of this feature for automated deployment. Instead, the JS7 components should be separately downloaded and checked that no tampered versions of the installer files have been download to exclude man-in-the-middle attacks.
• Good understanding of the deployment process and of the working of deployment scripts is key.
