Working With Deployments
A Deployment initiates the downloading of a patch by the agent to a device for installation.
It is the instruction set for a package that supplies the agent the rules and conditions for
deployment.
A deployment comprises all the necessary information to perform the task(s) associated
with the vulnerability. This includes files and required scripts for installing a patch, stopping
a service, validating a system condition, or changing a database entry. The Deployment is
the mechanism that carries and supports a package.
