Hi All,
Please let me know if Ansible can be used for the use case below:
We have about 8000 POS registers (ecommerce) that need to be updated with a new release for an Xstore application running on them. Typically all the POS instances are running on WINDOWS and the update process for the application involves
- Stopping the windows service
- Backing up the current jar file (application binary)
- Copying the new jar file
- Starting the windows service
- Report the status on all 8000 instances.
This deployment should be complete in about an hour. With ability to see if there are any failures via a dashboard. (Hoping Ansible tower can do this)
Is Ansible capable of running the above process on all 8000 instances at a time and report back with a dashboard containing the results of the deployment ?
Thanks!
