FlexDeploy utilizes an agent-less architecture to connect to computers across private or public networks/clouds to execute build and deploy operations. This architecture uses a secured communication protocol (SSH) and eliminates the need for installing and managing software on every build and deployment target. In many cases no setup is required on an Endpoint prior to configuring it within FlexDeploy.
