Solutions

Jaws Deploy is available as a fully managed cloud service (Jaws Deploy Cloud) or a self-hosted on-premises solution (Jaws Deploy Stack). In both deployment models a lightweight Agent service connects securely to your machines, ensuring seamless communication and control across your infrastructure. This article explains all the available solutions.

Jaws Deploy Cloud

Our cloud platform is a fully managed service — no installation, infrastructure or maintenance is needed. The Cloud receives updates and fixes on a regular basis and new feature are available as we walk through our roadmap. You can access the Cloud from anywhere via a secure web interface at https://app.jawsdeploy.net. Even if you are planning to use our on-premises offering (Stack) the Cloud is still a great option to explore the product and learn how to work with Jaws Deploy.

Jaws Deploy Stack

Jaws Deploy Stack is a bundle of microservices which you can install on your own infrastructure and have a private instance of Jaws Deploy. The behavior and feature set is the same as Jaws Deploy Cloud. With Stack, you get the level of isolation and security that your environment demands.

Note: The Jaws Deploy Stack is in beta-testing phase. The bundle is not publicly available. Reach out to admin[at]jawsdeploy.net if you would like to try it out. Once out of beta-phase the Docker images will be published to Docker Hub. We will also implement installation and scaling with Kubernetes ☸. Stay tuned.

Jaws Deploy Agent

Jaws Deploy Agent is a lightweight background service which needs to run on your target machines in order to communicate between Jaws servers and the deployment targets. The Agent can run on both Windows and Linux. Agent installation is streamlined via scripts, which can be downloaded directly from the App GUI. After running the script new Agent will send a handshake to the Jaws Deploy server. Just accept it in the App GUI and the machine is ready for use.

Once installed the Agents will update themselves automatically whenever a new version is publicly available. When running Jaws Deploy Stack it is possible to use a custom updates server, which ensures that new versions of Agents will be applied oinly when your infrastructure is ready for them.

Jaws Deploy PowerShell SDK

The PowerShell SDK is a set of wrappers around our HTTP Rest API. It will help you getting started with integrating Jaws Deploy into your CI platform.

The SDK is available on our Github: JawsDeploy/powershell-sdk
