Is this possible - App installs on the fly
by jimmac24 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4RRK7)
Hello everyone. First timer here. Without getting into all the details we are going to be spinning up quite a number of Linux boxes running Centos 7.
We want our security apps installed as part of the OS deployment. I am more familiar with OSD for Windows. To prevent from having to update the gold images frequently in Windows we leave the core images as is and can install applications on the fly as part of the scripted OS deployment. By the time the system is ready to be logged into for the first time, all of the apps are installed.
I'm wondering if there is a similar process that can be utilized to do the same in Linux. That way when a new version is released we simply replace the source files for the apps.
