552: Exploring Installomator with Isaac Ordonez of Mann Consulting

Topics: -Today we will cover Installomator - an excellent Github project originally designed by Armin Briegel, creator of scriptingosx.com and friend of the show. -To help further that discussion, we welcome Isaac Ordonez, Director of Technology at Mann Consulting. -Isaac handles a number of different instances and has a lot of experience in Installomator. -He gives us the breakdown of how Installomator can benefit your fleet. Namely by helping to manage updates. -Starting out in high school, Isaac has been managing Mac computers for a number of years. -The days of imaging long behind him, he knew he needed an updated approach to package management and updating applications. -Isaac talks about "recipes" and how Installomator finds application versions and can help deliver using an MDM. -The benefit of running from something like Jamf is that the script doesn't have to be at rest on the client workstation. -The Installomator channel in the MacAdmins Slack is an incredible resource for support that Isaac contributes to. -Big shout out to Adam Codega and Sóren Theilgaard! -Installomator has a print log function. Isaac takes advantage of that by writing all of his instances to a central log. -They write their logs to Data Dog. -Sam talks about how he leaned on Sóren to assist with his first Installomator deployment. -Jerry wants to know more about Swift Dialog. -Forcing updates for App Store apps is unmanageable. When there are packaged versions, it helps to go that route with something like Installomator. -If you need assistance getting Installomator off the ground and/or managing, reach out to Isaac's team at Mann Consulting.
