Centralized update of servers

hosters

Actually in one of our enhance installations we have +45 servers and growing.

In the event of we need to upgrade for example Appcd, as yesterday due to security patch, we have to update server by server (or script that operation on the shell side)

It will be great that enhance have a tool for update it centralized and also to have a quick view if some of the servers need upgrade without the need to check server by server.

Also an autoupgrade mode will be useful for doing that in automatic mode.

Yes, it causes a bit of a problem and requires a lot of administrative time.
There should also be notifications.

What do you use for automating servers with other control panels or even no panel?
I think most hosts tend to tools like Ansible or Puppet for centralised configuration management. This way if you need to make a change to something, you can roll it out to a group of servers very quickly without having to log in to each server.

With other control panels, you cram as many clients as you can on one hardware to save on licensing, as each hardware will bring a cost of CP + security software + backup software + you name it, so using other CPs, you would not have many servers to update, and most of the time they update themselves (Cpanel)

Enhance is a different beast taking over the many servers, and a tool to update all the servers by pressing one button is a must.

I know suggesting external tools is easier, but then go against the purpose of keeping most things under one umbrella. 🙂
