Bundle groups best practices
There are a number of best practices associated with bundle groups.
The following are suggested:
- Grouping
- Definition
- Grouped by platform type
- A group used to specify one or more agent bundles for a specific platform type.
- Grouped by system role
- A group used to specify a standard set of agents being deployed for a specific machine type or role within the enterprise. For example, a group deployed to database servers could contain an OS agent and a database agent.
- Grouped for latest update
- A group containing various agents where the version specification for agent member bundles is omitted. This causes initial deployment and upgrades to always deploy the most current available version in the depot. By managing the version of agents in the depot, this type of group always deploys the latest versions to target systems.
