Software deployment management systems offer functionalities to distribute software components and execute them on target machines. A common task involves incorporating supplementary files within a deployment package and subsequently initiating their execution post-transfer. This process is critical for scenarios requiring configuration adjustments, dependency installations, or post-installation tasks.
This capability streamlines software distribution, ensuring necessary components are present and actions are performed on the endpoint. Historically, administrators relied on manual processes or complex scripting, increasing the potential for errors and inconsistencies. Centralized management of file transfers and execution offers improved reliability, auditability, and reduced administrative overhead.
