Managing multiple Ubuntu servers tools

Zoinkies

Does anyone know any tools where you can via a single entry point, preferably SaaS, and agent based, monitor and manage a fleet of Ubuntu servers with a decent UI?

I preferably want to be able to see packages, Ubuntu versions, manage updates, etc, from a single entry point.

Have you looked at RedHat's Ansible Automation Platform (a.k.a Ansible Tower)? it's a GUI for Ansible that might be useful. Ansible Automation Platform

Another might be RedHat's Cockpit, you get a gui per server, but then can also be centrally managed via the sidebar Cockpit

Both support Ubuntu/Debian even though it's RedHat... (something feels icky recommending them after the whole centOS/Rocky S..t show)

I don't run enough servers to warrant setting this all up at the moment, but I am slowly getting there. Likewise I didn't want the overhead of Cockpit per server, for small VPS's. I was thinking of making something myself, but that's just as much complexity and security headaches to deal with.

I am interested if anyone else has other recommendations too.

Ansible have a free community version. Has a little learning curve, but it’s awesome once you’ve worked it out.

+1 for Ansible.
