About this interactive
A ten-minute install becomes five hours on 30 machines. The Installing at Scale lesson shows how a technician makes that fast and consistent.
Documentation and checklists: following the same written steps every time gives consistency and stops steps being forgotten, and each miss improves the checklist.
A delivery method: downloading at every machine is slow. A shared network folder holds the installers once, and any machine on the network can reach it; removable drives and deployment services work too.
The assembly line: work across all the machines on the same step, then move every machine on to the next step, so they all finish together and none falls out of sequence.
Stub installers: many downloads are only a small program that fetches the real install files from the internet each time it runs. Find the full installer that includes them, so every machine is not downloading the same files.
Drag each card into a bin, then check your answers.
