I have a bunch of servers where I periodically need to perform various operations, such as adding new repositories, installing packages, changing a couple of lines in configuration files, what approaches exist to propagate such changes? Which are the most convenient and simple?
Answer
You should try to adopt the “Configuration as code” paradigm. You can use Ansible, Chef, Puppet or Salt to name just a few.
My personal preference is Ansible as it needs little configuration on the host and is easy to start working with.
