Hi Folks,
I'm getting ready to rebuild a small cluster (4 nodes, xen
virtualization) that I'm using to support a combination of hosted
services (mostly email lists, a few web sites) and some experimentation.
To date, I've installed stuff manually, relied on a high-availability
stack (drbd, crm) to provide failover when things go south, and some
logwatch/alert scripts for monitoring everything. This time around, I'm
thinking about automating some of the install, configuration management,
and monitoring work.
Which leads me to wonder: Those of you who run server farms on Debian,
what are you using for:
- initial o/s install and configuration (e.g., FAI, other things?)
- software install/update/configuration (chef, puppet, ?)
- virtual machine management
- user management (control panels, ...)
- overall management (nagios, webmin, ...)
I'm sort of trying to get sense of what people actually use, and in what
combinations, rather than what's got the buzz this week.
Thanks for anything you might share.
Miles Fidelman
