To manage CentOS, Ubuntu and Redhat linux servers, what do you use?
Do you recommend something like https://cockpit-project.org/ ?Cockpit is for managing one machine. It's a nice tool but.... doesn't address real management.
I wonder what do you mean by "for managing one machine"? I setup Cockpit, added multiple servers and I can manage all these servers individually from Cockpit.
If you are talking about "can't trigger a task on all servers connected on Cockpit", maybe yes, so far I can select one Server and manage it, but no action option for all Servers at a time.
I was initially thinking the same thing, and cockpit is a great solution to administer an environment, but it's not an orchestration tool for an fleet of equipment.
Salt, Ansible, Chef and Puppet are all orchestration tools, to ensure the systems are doing what they need to.

Other than making a handle place to collect links to each machine, that's not managing them together in any way. It's managing them all completely individually. No different than if you just kept their individual links all in a text file somewhere.

Exactly. it's a great tool, but just for "snowflake" management.
