What would MDM enable on Linux that isn't already covered by FreeIPA/IdM combined with ansible?
- beetahnator 4y agoSuch a typical HN comment, I imagine Fleet would provide far better UX
- lsowen 4y agoAnsible is primarily a "push" model, which is hard with systems which may or may not be online from various locations (eg laptops). Plus having a cross platform MDM would allow an IT team to manage a fleet of end user devices without having to become experts in each of them. For example, the MDM could have push button "erase this machine", etc
- sekh60 4y agoVery good point on the push model when it comes to devices like laptops. Not sure how I feel on the second point. Managing Linux at scale, aside from the laptop point is pretty easy. Maybe companies need better help desk employees.
- toomuchtodo 4y agoBetter help desk employees quickly move on to better, higher paying roles.
