The present disclosure provides a method, system, and device for distributing a software release. To illustrate, based on one or more files for distribution as a software release, a release bundle is generated that includes release bundle information, such as, for each file of the one or more files, a checksum, meta data, or both. One or more other aspects of the present disclosure further provide sending the release bundle to a node device. After receiving the release bundle at the node device, the node device receives and stores at least one file at a transaction directory. After verification that each of the one or more files is present/available at the node device, the one or more files may be provided to a memory of a node device and meta data included in the release bundle information may be applied to the one or more files transferred to the memory.
