ubuntu centralized management how?

Question

ubuntu

There are about 80 machines on which chrome is installed and running in kiosk mode under ubuntu, 10.10, it became necessary to update all of these machines. (these machines do not look on the Internet).
we are preparing the assembly of Ubuntu, I want to automate this process for the future, updating the software + configuration files, what do you recommend?
Local repository ?
puppet? - until I can enter how it works.

Answer 1

puppet, ansible

Answer 2

They are online, no? If yes - ssh will help you, you can make a local repository and pull from it. If not - well, here you already need to somehow pervert, yes.

Answer 3

You are a little late. So for four years
As an option - you can try to upgrade to 12.04, then to 14.04. Well, then until 16.04, if you're lucky. Do the first tests by hand, a lot can go wrong. After successfully updating the test machine - take a look at ansible. It can execute commands on all 80 machines simultaneously. And it is simpler than Puppet, just for this task.
