Deploying app updatesSolved

If you’re deploying to everyone at once, that’s the first thing to fix.

Phased rollout is really about reducing impact. Instead of updating your entire device fleet in one go, you split it into smaller groups and move step by step.

Yeah, but is anyone here actually doing this through Hexnode?

Hi @mo-chou,

In Hexnode, phased rollout for app patching is designed to give you controlled, step-by-step deployment rather than a one-time deployment across all devices.

You can configure multiple phases, each targeting a specific group of devices, using features such as Dynamic Groups, and Update Deferral. These dynamic groups can be based on your existing device segmentation, such as departments, locations, or test groups.

Each phase can be scheduled, allowing you to define when the update should be deployed to that group. This ensures that updates can be rolled out progressively without disrupting users during active hours.

So it’s not just batch deployment, it’s more like structured stages?

Hi @ezekiel,

Each phase acts as a checkpoint. Once a phase is completed, you can monitor how the update behaves across that group, whether installations succeed, if there are failures, or if any unexpected behavior is observed.

Based on that, you can proceed to the next phase, delay it, or make adjustments if required.

Got it. So the idea is to use each phase as a validation step, not just a deployment step.
