Server Deployment Documentation

Hi,
I need some help with Server Deployment Documentation

I have been to interview where they ask me "What documentation do you use to deploy a server" or "What is your deployment procedure" ... the deployment could be a full server or a database or a web application but specifically how to deploy Linux Server in Production

Does anyone have a sample document they can share? Is it a Plan or Checklist or a template?

Please help,

Thanks

I think these kinds of questions are to check if you know what is needed to configure a server, what the initial steps are, what you would specifically do, these can be different for any admins out there, something good to get started would be something like this maybe. That's security out of the way, next start listing things like slicing the disk or creating extra users...

Just make a list for yourself on what it is you would do after initial setup, memorise it somewhat so that you can list the things you do, the interviewer will check his list and see if you know what you are talking about. If it is more specific to webapps, see what you would do to initially secure the webserver, create specific directories and secure them, add users to these folders ... And so on.

Thanks for the link.

I guess in process oriented companies they have Change Control Management and templates / plans to deploy servers or apps. I was looking for things they record and a sample doc.
