Abstract
In one example, a storage medium with program instructions to deploy immutable-image software to retail branch devices is disclosed. The operations include accessing a user-interface change request to initiate an event on a remote computer system. The event is a deployment of immutable branch-image software to alter or reimage existing software on the remote computer system. The operations include authenticating an identity of a user interface operator, publishing an event message (preload and build) on a messaging databus. An agent communicating with the remote computer system subscribes to the messaging databus. The operations for that include subscribing, by an agent on the remote computer system, to the messaging databus for the event message, storing the immutable branch-image software in a repository accessible via a secure network socket, retrieving the immutable branch-image software onto the remote computer system, and triggering installation of the immutable branch-image software on the remote computer system.
