Hello All, A general question. Is there an easy way to update yml file(s) on multiple servers? Assuming the file is identical on all servers, and I just want to update the configuration file(s). Another scenario, is that the file is not identical, is that possible? Logging in to each server and updating manually is a tedious job. Not all VMs have internet access. Thanks for the advise! ✈ ---

This is usually what config management tools like Ansible/Puppet/etc are used for. However we have Fleet arriving that will help manage that - [https://www.elastic.co/blog/introducing-elastic-agent-and-ingest-manager](https://www.elastic.co/blog/introducing-elastic-agent-and-ingest-manager) ---
