Abstract
Techniques for easy and secure deployment of a software package from a server to a customer-controlled computing device are described. In an embodiment, a deployment engine running on a server can be used to generate a unique URL for deployment of the software package. The unique URL may include a restricted use token. The restricted use token may be generated based on a combination of a random selection of one or more dictionary words, numbers, and/or symbols. The restricted token is easily readable given the combination of dictionary words, numbers, and/or symbols that make up the restricted use token. The unique URL may then be entered into a customer-controlled computing device via a curl command. The curl command will use the unique URL to generate a secure channel to the deployment engine and automatically download the software package onto the customer-controlled computing device. Upon downloading and/or installing the software package on the customer-controlled computing device, the unique URL is invalidated so that it may not be reused.
