General issue

Confusion about what constitutes 'ideal state wizard'

Description:

"Configure static content deployment
If static content deployment fails in the deploy phase, your site gets stuck in maintenance mode. When a failure occurs during the build phase, the process avoids downtime because it never begins the deploy phase. Generating static content during the build phase with minified HTML, also known as the ideal state, is the optimal configuration for zero-downtime deployments and prevents downtime if a failure occurs.

You can validate your project configuration by running the ideal state wizard."
In this para, it suggests that ideal state can be achieved by only confirming two settings: SCD on build and HTML minification. But in the actual docs link about ideal state wizard, there is a 3rd setting about configuring post-deploy hook.

We should be consistent about whether post-deploy hook is a necessary pre-req to achieving 0-downtime deploy or not.

Possible solutions:

Maybe we can say that #2 and #3 together constitute ideal-state. Not just the two settings mentioned in #2.

Another good point. I moved the statement about the ideal state wizard to the end of the list and added an emphasis. Once you're done with the list, you can run ideal state wizard to confirm configuration settings...in case more checks are added to ideal state in the future.

Fixed with merge.
