We’ve been using ansible to manage small numbers of small computers in homes and I’m wondering if AWX is a suitable platform for managing large numbers of such computers, or is it really only suitable for small estates (\<1M computers) with good connectivity.

The main challenges that we’re encountering is tracking and retrying failed updates over periods of several months (when the computers are turned off).

Opinions?
