The Deployment Unit package consists of a build (an executable collection of components), documents (user support
material and release notes) and installation work products. A Deployment Unit is sufficiently complete to be
downloadable, and run on a node. This definition fits the cases where the product is available over the internet, the
Deployment Unit can be downloaded directly and installed by the user. In case of "shrinkwrap" software, the
Deployment Unit is adorned with distinct packaging consisting of artwork and messaging and sold as a "product".
The contents of the Deployment Unit are noted in the Bill of Materials.
