Hi all, So far, I'm finding puppet to be quite excellent. I feel a bit novice, despite having done admin and programming for almost two decades. I'm a Perl developer by nature, but am open to learn Ruby and Python. Code all has so many similarities, and I can grok what any code does.
The question I have is one where I'd like to know what I should be looking at - what is the best way to automate EC2 instances with Puppet. What I've done so far is to define two types of servers and have even created an AMI which has puppet pre-installed and starts up pointing to my puppet server. This works quite well for the most part. I do have to iron out dependencies better so things install in a better order. The part I don't quite yet grasp is how I could automate: * Having the certificate requests for these new instances automatically signed * Creating a new node for a new instance, once it is up and I know the host/ip. As you know, you don't know that until Amazon assigns this. How could I automate this? My first impulse is to write Perl or Ruby code to write a nodes.pp file, but I'm guessing there is a better way to do this (???) Thanks in advance for any help on these questions! I'm sure there are those out there who've been through setting this up already. Thanks!
