Access Scoping in JFrog Registries

Access scoping is a method of ensuring that only the intended artifacts are distributed to the intended edge and IoT devices. This is a way of protecting both the artifacts and the devices from unauthorized or inappropriate distribution. Definition of access scoping has been added as a mandatory part of the JFrog Registry configuration.

Abort Deployment API Requests

Phased Rollout

27 October 2024

You can configure a phased software rollout consisting of two or three phases. In each phase, Connect deploys software based on tags that you have assigned to devices. Learn more about deploying software in phases in Set Phased Rollout.
