Sorry if this question is on the wrong Stack Exchange or too vague. I am really new to DevOps and got a big task and don't want to start on the wrong direction.

We have many Linux-based (Redhat) VMs in Azure and we have Splunk installed on them and I am looking for a way to automate Splunk upgrade. 

I don't want to upgrade Splunk every-time there is a new version, but I was wondering if I can selectively upload a new version somewhere in Azure and have a Runbook that detects the new version and execute the Runbook to upgrade the Splunk app on each VM?

Upgrading Splunk requires a custom script (to make sure the new version is compatible with our environment) which makes this automation harder to design I suppose. 

Is there a better way or option to perform Splunk upgrade? Preferably in a rolling fashion.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

If your VM is disposable and you can replace it with a new VM then you can also use VM Image galleryfor Linux where you can have images for a VM or multiple VM types and you can update it at one place using Azure DevOps and then update the underlying VM image
