Outbound requests
Published 07 August 2013
This page describes the outbound requests made by Deployment Manager and deployment Agents.
Outbound requests by Deployment Manager
Deployment Manager makes the following outbound requests:
- Pushing packages and deployment instructions, and checking the health, of Agents
- Downloading packages from NuGet feeds (you choose the feeds)
Outbound requests by Agents
For security reasons, the Agent services make no outbound requests. The only outbound requests you may see is for certificate revocation list checking, which is a security feature of the .NET framework.
It's possible that PowerShell scripts in your packages may make outbound requests; in this case you should take care when deploying packages created by a third party.
