• Develop and test the application or appliance as you would typically.
• Lock the appliance or application.
• Transfer the application or appliance to another grid (optional)
  • to transfer a locked application, perform the following:
    • Log into the destination grid using a user/SSH key that is an administrator on the source grid
    • Execute app migrate src locked-app to transfer the application to the grid.
  • To transfer a locked appliance, perform the following:
    • Log into the destination grid using a user/SSH key that is an administrator on the source grid
    • Execute class migrate src locked-class to transfer the class to the grid.

If at a later time, you need to make some changes to the application or appliance, the following steps should be performed:

• Unlock the appliance or application.
