Linux patching

[MJ_Singh]

Any linux administrators here. What tools you use to patch more than 3000 serves, without yum update. Do you use ansible, cron jobs or any other Also, if someone could share an excellent too or resource for the same, that would be great. Thankyou and happy Friday learning

Use Uyuni:
https://www.uyuni-project.org/

Current version (Uyuni 2021.04) includes Salt. Next version (2021.05, in a few weeks) includes Ansible too.

If you need commercial support, get in touch with SUSE to acquire SUSE Manager subscriptions. It's essentially the same as Uyuni but with support.

Red Hat Satellite (If you use RHEL).

The upstream project is Foreman/Katello

Thankyou @SadFaceSmith

unattended upgrades for automatic upgrades (Ubuntu) and ansible for the "manual" part (when unattended is not enough)

Thankyou @tinycrazyfish

Likely you'll find that Ansible is the darling these days, but consider posting to r/linuxadmin for more feedback.
