I second this, we use it to manage a bigger fleet with a few hundred machines. One thing to keep in mind though is that it will not apply kernel updates (as those require a reboot) so you still need to account for it.
- podc 5y agoHow do you apply kernel updates? Since rebooting anyway do you just throw the ec2 instance away at this point and launch a new one with latest image (and thus kernel updates)?
- mcbain 5y agoI haven’t tried this yet (our instances need other changes to get to this point) but AL2 can support live kernel patching: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/latest/userguide/kernel-live-patching.html https://docs.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/latest/userguide...
