Creating a Fleet

A fleet is a collection of machines that collectively can be treated as a deployment target.

To create a fleet, you first must have an existing platform. If you're unfamiliar with platforms, it is recommended you first consult the Platform User Guide.

How to create a fleet

If you navigate to the fleet panel and click the Create Fleet button, you will be greeted with the fleet creation wizard which will walk you through the setup process for your fleet.

You will first be asked to give your fleet a name and region. This information is useful later for monitoring.

Upon clicking Save & Continue, your fleet will be created. If you have not created any chips, you will be asked to create a new chip for this fleet. This form is identical to the one found in the Creating Chips guide. This is so you can enroll your machines.

If you have already created a chip, you will instead be asked first if you would like to select an existing chip. You can of course still opt to create a new chip using the Add Chip button.

After you add a chip, you will be prompted with the machine enrollment form. You can follow the instructions on screen to enroll a new machine or you can opt to enroll later using the Enroll Later button. More information about enrolling machines can be found in the Enrolling Machines guide.
