Summary

Esper has expanded its Linux device management capabilities, now available in beta to a wider audience after initial testing with early adopters in retail and restaurant sectors. The platform introduces features like Seamless Provisioning, which simplifies deploying Linux devices at scale by allowing users to download a .deb package with pre-configured blueprints, integrate it into OS images, and manage devices through the Esper Console. Additionally, Custom Actions enable users to create and apply repetitive scripts more efficiently, enhancing the flexibility and utility of device management. These updates aim to streamline the management of various headless Linux devices, such as edge gateways and networking devices, by providing tools like script-based provisioning, device monitoring, and custom role options, all accessible through Esper's unified device management platform.
