Chef Cookbook: Auto Updater
Primarily for Ubuntu at the moment, as it uses
apt.
This Cookbook can be used on a recent Ubuntu image to:
Set it's timezone
Periodically run apt-update in a non-interactive way, forcing kernel updates and other security patches to be aggressively applied on a smart schedule.
This code is running in production in at least two companies.
Staggering the Updates
Since updates may require rebooting the server, the resource will perform it only once every interval-days +/- a number between 0 and stagger. This number is obtained by performing a hash on the node name. This is done so that nodes do not all update (and possibly reboot) at the same time.
Attribute Configuration
# Set the time zone (optional) default['auto-updater']['timezone'] = 'America/Los_Angeles' # This must be set to true for auto-updater to work default['auto-updater']['update']['enabled'] = true # Time to wait between major updates take place default['auto-updater']['update']['check_interval_hours'] = 24 * 15 # This delay is calculated using this number, plus/minus a semi-random number # which is always the same for the same node. This ensures that if there is a # dangerous upgrade that causes servers not to come back up, you won't end up # with the entire fleet of servers down, but will start seeing them go down # gradually. default['auto-updater']['update']['node_check_delay_hours'] = 24 * 3 # Setting this to true will force full update on every run, assuming there is # something to update. default['auto-updater']['update']['force_update_now'] = false # Setting this to true disables reboot, even if some updates require it. default['auto-updater']['update']['reboot_if_needed'] = true # This is the field where the resource will save it's last time the # update ran. This field is for internal use only. default['auto-updater']['update']['last_update_at'] = nil
