No, but the "bare metal hosts" should be configured through configuration management and all logs sent "off site". I've been in the same boat and never had to log into a bare metal box. K8s and Ansible will do that for ya.
- freehunter 9y agoI work on those "off site" machines that collect your logs and I'm sitting on one as root right now. Ansible doesn't get you everywhere.

- closeparen 9y agoPuppet deploys a variety of host-level agents like L7 routing, dynamic config updaters, the scheduler agent (of course), metrics, logging, and tracing collection. Usually they work, but it’s necessary more often than you’d think to find out why one has fallen over and fix it, and to run diagnostic tools to investigate performance anomalies.
