Steps
Build the update into a .mender Artifact file using the mender-artifact CLI tool
Create a dynamic device group filtered by device attributes (or a static group with an explicit device ID list) to target the rollout
Create a Release from the Artifact and start a Deployment targeting that device group
Configure a phased rollout with percentage-based phases (e.g. 10% then the remaining 90%) so early phases surface failures before wider exposure
Track the deployment through its pending -> inprogress -> finished lifecycle states and check per-device deployment status
Known gotchas
phased/staggered rollout percentages are a Mender Enterprise/Professional feature, not available on the open-source tier
dynamic groups are filter-based and can silently change membership as device attributes change between when the group was defined and when the deployment runs
