Device Groups
Structure fleet operations by logical groups.
Device Groups are a core operational building block for applying changes and policies at scale.
Group Types
- Static groups are manually managed and useful for curated endpoint sets.
- Dynamic groups use rule-driven membership for automatically updated targeting.
Where Groups Apply
Group targets are used across policy assignment, deployment rollout, and automation execution. This makes group design central to reliable fleet operations.
Why Dynamic Membership Helps
When endpoint attributes change, dynamic groups keep targeting aligned without constant manual edits. That reduces drift between intent and execution.
Operational Pattern
Many teams combine static groups for critical systems with dynamic groups for broad operational cohorts like OS family, environment, or role-based segmentation.
Why It Matters
Strong grouping strategy improves rollout accuracy, reduces operational friction, and simplifies large-scale control workflows.
Capabilities
Static and Dynamic Modes
Static groups support curated endpoint sets; dynamic groups use rule-driven membership for automatic updates.
Cross-Feature Targeting
Groups are used across policy assignment, deployment rollout, and automation execution scope.
Drift Prevention
Dynamic membership keeps targeting aligned as endpoint attributes change without constant manual edits.
Segmentation Strategy
Combine static groups for critical systems with dynamic groups for OS family, environment, or role-based cohorts.
