Why it works

Voy a + infinitive is the everyday future: a plan already in view.

The -ré future is for a prediction, a promise, or something further off.

In speech, voy a wins most of the time.

Why not iré

iré a desplegarlo esta tarde

I will deploy it this afternoon

Sounds like a promise or a forecast. For this afternoon's plan, voy a desplegarlo.
