ABSTRACT:
Software deployment systems and techniques allow unattended and virtually real-time provisioning of a data item, such as a set of commands, a patch, update, or upgrade, of a product on one or more client computing devices. An example product may be a large-scale software application, such as a development environment. Update engines are used in conjunction with policy files so that the product's versions and updates on the client computing devices are consistent with each other and with the main development environment as represented by a main policy file.
