Feature request: Threaded deploying

Open mgmoerman opened this issue 11 years ago • 3 comments

The process to upload new ACLs to devices takes quite some time. It might be handy to have deploying done through multiple threads, as it's not the deploying host that's taking up time, but it's the SSH/Telnet process taking up the time.

How do you want to handle login or reachability failures? If a policy is deployed "partially" throughout the network, you end up without guarantees. Might make people lazy in fixing login issues even.

roll back the succeeded ones? have not thought this through yet, just trying to solve something that will eventually become an issue

Rollback is hard, as this is handled at the git layer (you revert a commit and press push to deploy)
