Select DevOps Plan clients to deploy
Determine the clients that are required for each site to plan the deployment and obtain the required licenses.
Each client has its own benefits and requirements. Some deployment models might use all the clients, depending on licensing strategy, lab locations, performance needs, and user needs and expertise. DevOps Plan Clients - work required for deployment provides a brief description of each client and the work that is required to deploy the client.
