Deploy Software

This page describes how to deploy a software update once you have created an Update Flow in JFrog Connect.

Once you have created one or more Update Flows in JFrog Connect, you can deploy the software update to your fleet. Connect enables you to deploy to the entire fleet at once or to deploy in various groups or subsets of devices.

When you deploy more than one update to a device, the device software is updated in the order that you sent the deployments.

If a device was offline when you sent the update, the device will update when it comes up again. If you sent multiple updates while the device was down, when it comes up again, the device will update in the order that the updates were sent.

Deployment Types

The main types of deployments are:

• Regular: Connect deploys to all selected devices in a single phase. The procedures on this page deal only with Regular deployments.

• Phased Rollout: Connect deploys to devices in up to three distinct phases. To set up a phased rollout deployment, see Set Phased Rollout.

Prerequisites

To use the procedure below, you need to have one or more Update Flows created already.

Choose an Update Flow

To choose an update flow, do the following:

1. Go to Deployment in the left menu and choose the Update Flows tab.

1. In the list that appears, look for the Update Flow you want to deploy. If you don’t see it in the list, choose the correct Project and Group in your fleet. You can also use the Search to locate your update flow.

Create Deployment

1. In the list of Update Flows, click New Deployment in the row of the update flow.

1. In the New Deployment popup, choose the devices that will be updated. This includes choosing the Groups and any Additional Filters for devices in your fleet.

1. Set the Deployment Configuration, which includes the following optional tasks:

   1. Set Application Name and Version.
   2. Schedule Deployment. Connect’s default behavior is to start the deployment as soon as you click Create Deployment. However, you can mark this checkbox to start the deployment at a specific time. Enter your date and time (UTC time zone) in the following format: MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm.
   3. Alert on Deployment Failure.
2. Enter the values for all of the Deployment Parameters required. An example of some deployment parameters is shown below.

1. Enter a comment that will help you remember something about this deployment.

If you have not scheduled a specific time for the deployment to run, it will start to run as soon as you click Create Deployment.
