How to patch 40 Drupal sites without 40 manual deployments
Blog post from Upsun
Managing a large number of Drupal sites manually for updates and security patches is inefficient and prone to errors, leading to version drift and inconsistent configurations. This problem is not unique to Drupal; any framework with multiple sites faces similar challenges. Automating the update process by using a version-controlled configuration file and leveraging platform APIs, such as those offered by Upsun, allows changes to be propagated across all sites without manual intervention. This approach ensures consistency, reduces maintenance overhead, and enhances security and support by maintaining a uniform configuration across the fleet. The automated system allows for swift updates through a simple process of modifying the config file, committing the change, and running a script, which updates all sites efficiently and consistently. This method also simplifies onboarding new sites and handling configuration exceptions at the project level, providing a scalable solution that eliminates the uncertainty and inefficiencies of manual fleet management.
