Agent Line And Rollouts

Track the separate operational model for agent releases and understand how it differs from control-plane self-update.

Agent Line And Rollouts

Agent releases remain a separate concern from control-plane releases.

Agent release behavior

  • agents are updated through rollout APIs and UI surfaces
  • rollouts target enrolled nodes
  • progress is observable from the dashboard and API
  • rollback behavior is independent from host-side control-plane rollback

A rollout changes the node-side runtime. That means telemetry shipping, task execution, package operations, terminal transport, and agent-side bug fixes all move with the rollout.

A rollout does not replace the control plane, the installer-managed bundle, nginx, PostgreSQL, Redis, or the host-side runtime supervisor.

Why the split matters

Treating agent updates and control-plane updates as one surface would hide real operational differences. Noderax keeps them separate because:

  • agent updates change node runtimes
  • control-plane updates change the platform itself
  • each one has different safety constraints, scopes, and recovery paths
