While controls like #6047 can enforce updates after the workspace reaches its max lifetime, there may be cases where an admin will want to immediately "roll out" a change to all developer workspaces, e.g. on a weekend or after a major security patch.

Some ideas:

Solution Pros Cons
Provide a bash script in docs for updating all workspaces with a particular template No added code debt Kicks users out when they are working, could interrupt developer's flow or stop running jobs
Add a first-class feature to update all workspaces that warns the user and allows them to postpone and/or save their work Developers have time to save their work. Easier command to remember. Complex feature. No guarantee developers see the notification
Bulk workspace actions Ability to query specific workspaces (last-active:90d-ago) and run specific actions stop, delete, etc. Potentially ability to notify the user before action occurs. Complex. Could be done with custom scripting
Template version tags (e.g. latest) Always push one promoted template version tag: latest #6051

The second solution could be accomplished by setting the workspace build's max_deadline to be the target time for update, and then having logic elsewhere to force update on the next build.

That's clean @deansheather. I could see an admin setting that all workspaces have to update on Saturday at 11:59PM. There could be a bool on the latest workspace_build for "force_update".

This issue is becoming stale. In order to keep the tracker readable and actionable, I'm going close to this issue in 7 days if there isn't more activity.
