fleet: An open-source platform for IT and security teams to manage thousands of computers.
What problem it solves
IT and security teams need one place to secure and maintain every computing device in an organization, across operating systems and cloud and container estates. Without that, device management, patching, software deployment, and compliance verification end up fragmented across separate tools.
Key features
Device management across every OS — Fleet manages Linux, macOS, Windows, Chromebooks, mobile, cloud, and container estates from a single system, including MDM, patching, and software deployment.
Source: README
APIs, GitOps, YAML, and webhooks — Fleets can be managed as code or by hand through GitOps, the GUI, the REST API, webhook events, and the fleetctl command-line tool.

Visibility and compliance reporting — Fleet reports on hundreds of device attributes and ships with CIS benchmarks for macOS and Windows, alongside operating system, hardware, and software data.
Source: README, schema
Transparent by design — The agent's behavior and the data collected are open to end users; Fleet states it collects only the data needed to manage and secure devices, not private activity.
Source: README
Modular and integration-friendly — Features can be used independently, and ready-to-use integrations cover tools such as Snowflake, Splunk, GitHub Actions, Munki, Chef, Puppet, Ansible, CrowdStrike, and SentinelOne.

Who it may suit
This may suit IT and security teams operating thousands of endpoints who want an open-source, API-friendly device management platform.
