Deploy an app

Install an app on a running VM and follow the deployment status.

Deploy

  1. Open the app from App Market.
  2. Under Deploy to a VM pick the Target VM. Only VMs that are running can be chosen. Others are listed as disabled with their current status.
  3. Choose Deploy for the app. The button changes to Deploy in progress.

If you have no running VM, the page links to your VM list and to Create a VM.

Follow the status

The deployment runs in the background. The Deploy history on this VM card refreshes every few seconds and shows each attempt with a status:

Status Meaning
Queued Waiting to start.
Running The installation is in progress.
Succeeded Finished. The output shows what was done.
Failed It stopped. The reason and the output are shown.

You can leave the page and come back, since progress is kept in the history.

If a deployment fails

Deploying apps is a newer feature. A failure with a connection error is often temporary, so try again in a few minutes. If it keeps happening, open a support ticket and include the failure reason shown in the history.
