os_agent_auto_update

Schedule ansible-playbook to check for and install OS Agent updates with cron

Requirements

• Ansible must be installed on the remote host to run the auto update playbook from cron. The role will complete successfully without Ansible being installed, but the cron job will not run successfully. By default, the role will automatically do a user install of ansible with pip.
• A playbook is copied to the remote host that is scheduled in cron to check for and install OS Agent updates. This playbook has a task with become: true, so the user runs the schedule should have passwordless sudo configured to run non-interactively.
