What is Fleet?
Fleet is an open-source device management platform for IT and security teams. It combines mobile device management, patching, software deployment, and endpoint diagnostics. Its stated coverage includes Linux, macOS, Windows, Chromebooks, iOS, and Android, as well as cloud infrastructure, containers, and Linux-based connected devices.
Teams can manage devices through a graphical interface, GitOps workflows, a REST API, webhook events, and the fleetctl command-line tool. Fleet collects operating system, hardware, and software information to support investigations and compliance reporting. Its modular approach allows teams to use device management and security features independently.
The free version is available under the MIT license, while paid features have a commercial license. The repository describes production deployments but does not provide detailed hosting instructions or a feature-by-feature comparison of the free and paid offerings.
