Hi guys,
I have automated by deployment of my management system, with the setting of a password from retrieval from the password vault and I can bring stand up a new managent platform in about 15 mins or so which I am happy about, but I really wanted to automate the patch installation and either snapshot recovery so I can basically redeploy the management platform from the last known good image in one touch, ideally having a option to choose what version you wanted to restore. I'd rather not troubleshoot and just redeploy.
I guess the snapshot restore would include the patches and stuff so ideally I'd like archive off snapshots to independant storage and add a restore of the snapshot to my deployment scripts. The net effect being I can basically end up version controlling the management system. Is there any special handling on snapshots we need to be aware of - I assume you can transfer the snapshot onto remote storage, then move it back to a new system and recover right?
Also the gaia gui is really nice, but I'd rather be working on a CLI as I can track script changes in version control (git) and so on and better handle output - any tips there?
Thanks!
