Chapter 6. Application Deployment
So far we have discovered some of the big changes in Configuration Manager 2012. Arguably, none of them are as big as the chapter we are starting now. The introduction of the application model is a big change in the way we deploy applications. Applications contain lot more intelligence for the administrator to use when deploying their applications. We have the ability to manage the life cycle of the application to some extent.
In this chapter, we will be looking at the following topics as we look at how to deploy applications:
- Introducing the application model
- Deploying applications using the application model
- Deploying virtual applications
- How application management works
- When to use packages
