Managing Deployments

Create Deployment

1. Navigate to the Deployments tab for your product.
2. Click on the Create a new deployment button at the top of the page.
3. Provide a name and, optionally, a description.
4. Upload a firmware binary. Verify that the version information is correct for your firmware.
5. Click Deploy Now to make your firmware immediately available to devices or Save Draft to create it in an inactive state.

Deploy the Fleet will automatically attempt to assign the version to your firmware but you can always change this value.

We recommend you use Semantic Versioning for versioning your firmware binaries.

3. Click the pencil icon on the deployment.
4. Edit the information.
5. Click Save.

Delete Deployment

You can delete a deployment directly from the Deployment List page or from the Deployment Detail page. Either way the instructions are the same.

2. Confirm deployment deletion.

Activate/Deactivate Deployment
