Packages can contain dependencies, instructions, and rollback instructions. Deployments can be manual or automatic (scheduled). Not all Agents support all these features. The following table lists the Agents and shows which package and deployment features they support. Note that since the Axeda Platform evaluates the Package dependency, this dependency is listed for ALL agents. However, the other dependencies are evaluated by Agents and not all Agents can evaluate dependencies.
Note: Defined Configuration dependency is only available on Axeda ConnectedConfiguration licensed Platforms.
