Ah, I'll explain: When we "upgrade" to a new major version we usualy set up a new server (single-server setup) because an in-place upgrade feels really daunting. However, migrating all the stuff currently defined in node groups (PE Infrastructure, PE Patch Mgm) is a lot of work. And then there's a number of server settings that we customize too. Just installing the server is a breeze for a single-server. It's how we can set up what is currently implemented in Node groups under (PE Infrastructure, PE Patch Mgm) that is the most amount of work, followed by all the server settings. So we are looking to simplify this somehow, but are currently confused about the way forward... What is the modern, preferred way to do this in at least semi-auomated way if an in-place upgrade feels scary? What would be the best tools to use? Should we abandon most of the GUI setup and go hiera all the way? If so how? 🤷
