Why use Landscape?
Managing large-scale Ubuntu deployments manually can be tedious, inefficient, and error-prone. Using Landscape offers numerous advantages:
- Centralized management: You can manage all your Ubuntu machines from one interface, simplifying administrative tasks and reducing the time required for routine maintenance
- Scalability: Whether you have a handful of servers or thousands, Landscape scales with your needs, making it ideal for enterprises of any size
- Automation: Automate repetitive tasks such as updates, upgrades, and package installations, freeing time for more strategic work
- Compliance and auditing: Ensure compliance with corporate policies and industry regulations by tracking changes and generating detailed reports
Landscape provides an overview of your entire Ubuntu estate at a glance, as shown in Figure 9.1.
