Abstract: Techniques are provided for deploying software applications and/or software platforms from a client device to one or more network devices. The client device comprises a client update application and an update library of routines. The update application invokes one of the routines of the update library. In response, the update library sends a plurality of instructions, or commands, and a software application and/or software platform to each of the network devices. The instructions, when processed by each of the network devices, cause the updated software to be installed and any reboot operations to be performed.
