Disaster Recovery (Installation / Upgrade)
This is a set of playbooks and scripts to provide easy installation and upgrade of Opsview Disaster Recovery solution. It is a semi-automated process to install and upgrade using ansible methodology. Because of that we can keep the configuration standard across all customer environments and there is less possibilities of user error.
