 # Deploy Guide
 
-💡 The Deploy Guide describe how to provision, bootstrap and deploy nodes and services.
+OSISM is deployed in a series of successive steps. The steps are documented in the Deploy Guide.
 
-A classification is made for services. For example, all infrastructure services
-such as RabbitMQ or MariaDB are covered in the [infrastructure section](./services/infrastructure)
-of the [services chapter](./services).
+The prerequisite for the deployment of a cluster is a configuration repository.
+What a configuration repository is and how it is created is described in the
+[Configuration Guide](../configuration-guide/configuration-repository#creating-a-new-configuration-repository).
 
-The guide always assume that a node is already initially accessible via SSH and only
-needs to be bootstrapped and integrated into the environment. Deploying bare-metal nodes
-with an operating system is documented in the [provisioning chapter](./provisioning).
-
-The manager node is handled in a [separate chapter](./manager) because it must be handled
-differently when building a new environment.
-
-Before deploying services to nodes, they must all be bootstrapped. This is covered
-in the [bootstrap chapter](./bootstrap).
-
-In the examples, the pull of images (if supported by a role) is always run first. While
-this is optional, it is recommended to speed up the execution of the deploy action in
-the second step. This significantly reduces the times required for the restart from a
-service.

-## Getting started

-OSISM is deployed in a series of successive phases. The phases are documented in this guide.

 The seed node is used once for the initial bootstrap of the manager node. The seed node can
 also be used to initially create and prepare the configuration repository. The seed node is
 not the manager node itself. It is sufficient to use the local workstation. It doesn't have
