IoT Edge Deployment Manifest to IoT Edge devices

Question

Hi Team,

I am working on this IoT Edge automatic deployments, I found this like while I am deploying a manifest using tags to target the specific IoT Edge devices, it works well, the deployment is success and able to run the desired modules on the targeted IoT Edge devices.

But if I remove the tag from any of the IoT Edge device after the successful deployment, it removes all the new modules from that IoT Edge device, is that intended behavior or should I need to apply any settings, to keep the IoT Edge device running the specified modules, even though after removing the tags.

Thanks for your time...

Hello Dhanavath,

What you experienced is the expected behavior: when you remove the tag or any other target condition for your defined automatic deployment is no longer valid, your existing device is removed from the deployment, see also documentation on Automatic Deployment.

If you want to have a specific deployment for your devices, for example they got the initial deployment and you want to test a new module before deploying it to all devices, you will need to create a new automatic deployment with a specific manifest and a specific condition what has a higher priority than your initial tag-based deployment.
