Deployment question

(imported topic written by SystemAdmin)

Hello,

I wanted to confirm the general system behavior on deployments: if I am pushing a big task (let’s say 350 mb) down to a list of 100 machines through a relay that it was never cached before, does it still cache it on the relay first to save up on network traffic or does it try to push it to all 100 machines simultaneously? Respectively, if that’s the case is it better to push it to one machine so that the caching takes place on the relay and target the other 99 machines at a later point?

Thank you.

The clients will wait until the relay has the files and then they will pull directly from the relay. As long as you have your relay architecture properly designed and implemented you should not need to worry about the network implications when pushing your package.
