2.3. Deploying More than 100 Workstations

Most of the considerations brought up for medium installation scenarios in Section 2.1, “Deploying up to 10 Workstations” still hold true for large scale deployments. However, with a growing number of installation targets, the benefits of a fully automated installation method outweigh its disadvantages.

It pays off to invest a considerable amount of time to create a sophisticated rule and class framework in AutoYaST to match the requirements of a huge deployment site. Not having to touch each target separately can save you a tremendous amount of time depending on the scope of your installation project.
