Even if you write RPM/DEB's to install all of your config files, you'll need something to trigger installation after you've updated your packages. How are you going to do that? SSH to every server? That doesn't scale very well. This is where other tools come into play.

- brazzledazzle 11y agoReading this thread makes me feel like I'm looking at a conversation between sysadmins from now and one from the past. I'm not saying this to be dismissive though. It's possible there may be merit to what they're describing, maybe the emperor really isn't wearing any clothes. It just takes me back and feels weird to read.
- lisivka 11y agoIf you are old enough, you should remember times when we need to enter network configuration manually, using network configuration TOOL: netmask, IP address, router IP, DNS servers, domain. Then DHCP SERVICE is invented: DHCP client asks DHCP server for that information and applies it automagically: it just works, for any device, now and in future, without human. Ops tells me that they are using configuration TOOLs. I tells them that I am DevOps, so I use SERVICEs and SCRIPTs (clients) instead. They work automagically, without need for me to reconfigure servers manually. Am I from the past?
