Explanation
The Deployment Server is the Splunk component responsible for distributing apps and configurations to other Splunk instances-primarily universal and heavy forwarders-at scale. It uses a push model: clients (deployment clients) poll the deployment server and receive assigned app bundles from server classes. The Deployer serves a narrower role, managing app distribution only to members of a Search Head Cluster. Indexers store and search data, and forwarders collect and send data, so neither manages configuration distribution.
