While we are waiting for deployment, the choreography of the launch of 114 cube-sats is quite impressive.  I notice the cabling leading down to the second stage.  Does SpaceX control the release of each individual, or does it just send a signal to the Sat Containers, and then the owner of the cube-stats containers orchestrates the deployments?

You cannot win them all. Autotrack was doing well, tracking the booster all the way until entry burn shutdown. But, the early morning sunlight made the booster the same color as the sky. Neural net did not detect it. Problem will be corrected by adding additional training data.

It’s my understanding that the launch vehicle controls the payload attach fitting and deploys each payload when commanded as pre-programmed and sequenced prior to launch. Someone with more specific info, feel free to confirm/elaborate/deny.
