Re: [Burp-users] Auto upgrade of windows clients from version 1 to version 2 possible?

[Pablo D. E. D. <pab...@gm...>]

Hello Marat,

I think you think ansible needs to be actively connecting to users, even
after deployment. But that is not the case, to try to explain in resume:

Ansible does, exactly what you use to do by hand following procedures, but
it does what it's written on the playbook so does it without human
mistakes: ex: connect to one server, install something, execute some
script, configure something, etc, and exit. That's it.
You don't need to connect to the client again once it is configured, you
can even remove the client from the inventory (or comment it) to not try to
connect on next runs (when you want to connect to other client/server), or
use --limit host/group from command line to connect only to some clientx.

Ansible can also ran on localhost, so you can run it on client directly to
install/configure the client. (not necesary to have another machine for
that).

Maybe it's OFF-TOPIC, but I'm trying to answer that doubt.

pd. there is also
http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/playbooks_intro.html#ansible-pull
https://www.stavros.io/posts/automated-large-scale-deployments-ansibles-pull-mo/
when
talking about something like "large-scale-deployments".
