Deployment packages

A deployment package captures a specific commit of your policy state, providing a controlled, versioned way to promote finalized policies from development to production.

After policies have been developed, tested, and approved in a branch, they’re bundled into a deployment package for promotion. This ensures deployments reflect a specific reviewed state, reducing the risk of unintended changes.

Deployment packages are intended for use in embedded policy decision point (PDP) mode. To export and load policy and Trust Framework data into Policy Editor instances, use snapshots instead.

Deployment packages offer the following benefits:

  • Predictable policy rollouts: Packages standardize the promotion of policies across environments, reducing the chance of configuration drift or inconsistent deployments.

  • Separation of duties: Policy authors can create and test policies independently, while administrators handle deployment.

  • Auditability and traceability: Each package ties to a specific, versioned policy state, making it easier to track what was deployed and when.

The Deployment Packages tab displays up to 100 packages at a time. If a branch contains more than 100 packages, click Load more at the bottom of the list to load the next group of 100 packages.
