Description

At MAX IV, we have developed an internal command-line tool, tango-takeoff, to manage the lifecycle of Tango Device Servers via Starter. This tool, now publicly available, is designed to simplify starting, stopping, and restarting device servers in an automated way.

tango-takeoff is integrated into our Ansible roles, enabling automatic deployment and reliable service management across our infrastructure.

This presentation will include a live demo of the tool in action. It will also provide a brief refresher on dsconfig, a Tango configuration management tool already adopted within the community, highlighting how it complements deployment workflows.
