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.
