Subject: preventing upgrade nightmare suggestions?
Hi,
A friend of mine has the following scenario: he need to manage few
dozens of Linux servers which different OS's and versions (RHEL,
Centos, Debian, Redhat 7.x, 9.x etc), and he needs to update all of
them with the latest packages..
The question is - is there any GOOD open source solution for this?
something that can perform updates, notify admin about the updates,
etc? or he needs to "re-invent the wheel"?
No.
- yba
N.B. There isn't even a good proprietary solution for this. There is no
way to do this safely without having someone who knows each server
intimately. The only way out of this is to use the exact same OS and
libraries on all of your servers. Even then there are occaisional
surprises.
Thanks,
Hetz
