Generating and optimizing deployment configurations for enrolled devices

A system, comprising:

• at least one computing device;
• and
• program instructions executable in the at least one computing device that, when executed, cause the at least one computing device to:
• receive information pertaining to a desired configuration provided during an ingestion process where at least one user interface is generated, wherein the information received comprises a selection of a client application and a resource to be installed on a plurality of client devices enrolled with a management service, and a policy to implement on the plurality of client devices, individual ones of the plurality of client devices having different operating systems installed thereon;
• generate a deployment configuration using the information received during the ingestion process, wherein the deployment configuration is universal across the plurality of client devices independent of the different operating systems;
• and
• publish the deployment configuration for at least one user group, wherein a publication of the deployment configuration causes the plurality of client devices associated with the at least one user group to automatically install the client application and the resource on the plurality of client devices, and implement the policy on the plurality of client devices.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• receiving information pertaining to a desired configuration provided during an ingestion process where at least one user interface is generated, wherein the information received comprises a selection of a client application and a resource to be installed on a plurality of client devices enrolled with a management service, and a policy to implement on the plurality of client devices, individual ones of the plurality of client devices having different operating systems installed thereon;
• generating a deployment configuration using the information received during the ingestion process, wherein the deployment configuration is universal across the plurality of client devices independent of the different operating systems;
• and
• publishing the deployment configuration for at least one user group, wherein a publication of the deployment configuration causes the plurality of client devices associated with the at least one user group to automatically install the client application and the resource on the plurality of client devices, and implement the policy on the plurality of client devices.
