DESCRIPTION:Managing enterprise Linux mobile endpoints (usually laptops) at
  scale can be difficult using the existing tools made for managing Cloud a
 nd Server systems. While there are many commercial and open source tools a
 vailable intended to manage Windows and MacOS mobile endpoints\, there are
  very few for Linux mobile management. I've also discovered that managing 
 a fleet of Linux laptops doesn't follow the traditional Linux management w
 orkflow. I will talk about issues my team has encountered\, and how we hav
 e leveraged Ansible and cloud services to solve our problems. \n\nWe have 
 seen great strides in usability and performance of many Linux distribution
 s on modern laptop hardware\, and there are benefits in using an Open Sour
 ce operating system on company devices. However\, Linux laptops often oper
 ate outside a locked-down managed network\, and the devices still need to 
 manage access\, perform software updates\, identify and address security i
 ssues\, as well as self-repair. As more employees work from home\, there i
 s very little guarantee that the managed Linux device will be attached to 
 a corporate network anymore\, so we need to re-think how we apply a manage
 d infrastructure to mobile Linux endpoints. We need to have the ability to
  apply automation\, auditing and account management to remote endpoints in
  a secure manner\, and not expose the internal company resources to the pu
 blic internet. Ansible is a powerful tool used to manage systems at scale\
 , but tools like Ansible Automation Platform tend to rely on a highly mana
 ged networking infrastructure. We will demonstrate how Ansible can still b
 e used to manage Linux mobile endpoints.\n\nThis talk should explain what 
 to consider when managing Linux workstations for remote or traveling emplo
 yees. We will discuss some of the technology we used and how we are changi
 ng the way we manage Linux laptops. We'll also discuss some of the possibl
 e ways modern tools might make this easier in the future.
