Concept
=========

Fleets are the way to group and manage your devices within Orchestra Manager.
Fleets group devices within a single unit. This allows you to silmuntaniuosly manage all of the devices within this group, for example: instead of installing and updating software on each device separately, you do it once for the whole group(fleet).

.. tip:: It is better to make a Fleet with similar devices that share application or run common functions.

Where to find fleets
==================================

You can find Fleets section in the sidebar of Orchestra Manager:
