Product delivery

Product groups

Validate several products together and install them in order.

A product group bundles products that are deployed together. Converge validates that they fit, records snapshots, and installs them upstream first.

Build a group

In Marketplace > Groups, choose New group, then add products. Each member either follows the latest version on the channel or is pinned to a version.

Findings

The group page validates the members live.

Blocking findings stop the install:

  • the group is empty;
  • no version matches a member's policy on the channel;
  • a linked product is missing from the group;
  • a linked product's version has the wrong major;
  • members depend on each other in a cycle;
  • two members package the same resource;
  • a required input has no default.

Advisory findings only warn: a member's version is more than 180 days old.

Install group stays disabled while there is a blocking finding.

Install order and snapshots

Members are listed in install order: upstream products first. Install group installs every member into one target project, all or nothing.

Take snapshot records each member's exact version and the findings at that moment. Snapshots are never edited, so they show what a group looked like when it was validated or deployed.
