The State column shows the current state of the task.
The state can be one of the following:
Idle: The task is not running. It will run on a schedule or when a specified number of machines become ready. Alternatively, you can start the task manually.
Waiting for machines: The task has started but is waiting for machines to become ready. This state occurs in the following cases:
A task that performs deployment to a specific list of machines waits until the machines are woken up.
A task that performs deployment to a number of any ready machines waits until this number is reached.
In progress (shown as percentage complete): The task is performing deployment. After deployment has finished on all machines, the task state becomes Idle.
Stopping: The task is stopping after you chose to stop it or after not enough machines became ready after a time-out. The task will then enter the Idle state.
The Last result column shows the result of the deployment task.
The result can be one of the following:
Succeeded: Deployment has been successful on all of the machines where it started (all of these machines have the Succeeded result).
Failed: Deployment to one or more machines failed (a machine has the Failed result).
Stopped: The task has been stopped. This state occurs in either of these cases:
The task stopped because not enough machines became ready for deployment, according to the deployment start condition you specified when creating the deployment task.
