Tip of the Week - Central Deployment Tool (CDT)

[_Val_]

Central Deployment Tool (CDT) is a utility that runs on Security Management Servers and Multi-Domain Security Management Servers running Gaia OS.  This utility lets you manage a deployment of software packages from your Management Server to the multiple managed Security gateways and cluster members at the same time:

• Installation of software packages
• Perform various actions - take snapshots, run shell scripts, push/pull files, etc.
• Automate the RMA backup and restore process

For more information about CDT please refer to this SecureKnowledge article.

We have been using this for a couple years now. Great tool for upgrading multiple VSX firewalls. 
it has its quirks but works great for the most part.
