Installing an orchestrator
The Maverics Orchestrator is a stateless service that can be deployed on Linux, Windows, Docker, and optionally run on Kubernetes.
Managing frequent updates at enterprise scale can be challenging, and the right update cadence for your organization will depend on your infrastructure and your configuration management practices. However, Strata recommends updating your orchestrator with every minor and patch release, or monthly, at minimum. These releases often include security and bug fixes that improve the overall security posture and robustness of the orchestrator.
To update the Orchestrator between two minor versions on a given host, run the corresponding install command for your platform.
Orchestrator release numbering follows semantic versioning rules.
