BrandonAdmins, how do you push server updates? What tools do you use and why?
GayDeceiver@btp we still use ye olde method of human interaction. I’d be interested in finding out what others use.
@GayDeceiver Is there any reason why you don't use any RMM tools?
@btp we have a lot of old people who think that automating server updates will break the universe. Actually, the servers that don’t depend on those old people giving their opinion get automatic updates via an RMM product (Atera).
@GayDeceiver Sounds about right. How do you like Atera?
@btp I love it. I used to be a DesktopCentral proselytizer, but Atera offers so much more and is very easy to use. We are a small shop, so we don’t have imaging for our new machines. With Atera, we were able to automate the initial configuration of devices … so instead of a day, it takes a couple of hours to go from unboxing to delivery to the end user. I really like it. You pay for the techs, not the end points. The support is outstanding.
fedops 💙💛@btp for the OS and other repos: dnf-automatic. Everything else: Ansible.
furicle@fedops Do you admin any Windows machines? I'm guess Ansible for that if so.
