<term><varname>ConditionFraction=</varname></term>
<listitem><para><varname>ConditionFraction=</varname> may be used to enable a unit on a stable,
pseudo-random subset of a fleet of machines. It is primarily useful for staged rollouts: the same
unit (or drop-in) is distributed to every machine in a fleet, but only the configured fraction of
them will actually have it enabled. The decision is derived locally from the machine ID (see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>machine-id</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>), so
it requires no central coordination and is stable over time: a given machine always lands on the
same side of the threshold.</para>
<para>The argument consists of an optional <replaceable>tag</replaceable> followed by a percentage,
separated by whitespace, for example <literal>30%</literal> or
<literal>myrollout 30%</literal>. The percentage may include up to two decimal places (e.g.
<literal>0.5%</literal>). The condition is satisfied on approximately the configured percentage of
all machines; <literal>0%</literal> matches no machine and <literal>100%</literal> matches every
machine.</para>
<para>The optional tag is an arbitrary string (not containing whitespace) that is mixed into the
derivation, so that independent rollouts select <emphasis>independent</emphasis> subsets of the
fleet. Without it, all untagged <varname>ConditionFraction=</varname> checks would select the very
same machines (the same machines would always be picked first). Use distinct tags for unrelated
rollouts, and a shared tag to deliberately target the same machines across several units.</para>
<para>The test may be negated by prepending an exclamation mark, in which case it is satisfied on the
complementary fraction of machines (e.g. <literal>!myrollout 30%</literal> matches the other ≈70%).
If the machine ID cannot be determined, the condition fails.</para>
