- lanstin 6y agoI had a big OS migration project, where we moved all the RHEL machines to Ubuntu. We had a big set of Python scripts that would go out and query a bunch of databases and logging system to get the current state of the migration each day, but we published the results as a spreadsheet that was emailed rather than some website.

It worked better than I expected, having not used excel for decades.
