I have around 4 years experience with Apple devices.

I am looking for a new opportunity. I found a job on LinkedIn, but they needs someone with Mac Images and deployment process.

I formatted around 120 (iMac, Macbook Pro, Macbook Air, iPhone and iPad), all these devices are for personal use.

I hope you can help me with some articles or videos about the Mac Images and deployment process.

What they are referring to is creating an installable image on an external or networked server that can be launched to install on new macs. Organizations will create a standard install OS that includes apps/software that the company needs for their employees to use. They then clone the install to new computers for the purpose of consistency and expedience. Macs are much easier to do this on than it is on a PC. You can mix up the models and it will still work which is not so true on PC's.

So basically you create the image and then deploy it usually from a server to many systems. There are lots of ways to do this and all kinds of software that will deploy. What they have available or expect will come out in the interview - hopefully.

I found this on Youtube that will give you an idea of what I am trying to convey:
