I've done this successfully with around 2000 installations. the only thing you need to consider is where is your installation source located, obviously Foreman just provide your kickstart / preseed / jumpstart files which point to the real location of the installation media.

I'm just implementing now the reports collector, It would be very easy to send out an alert based on various criteria e.g.: - something failed in the puppet run - took too long - no report etc It seems like between puppet and foreman you already have about 50% of > zabbix does with some nice additional feature. Thanks, My main goal is to make Foreman the main place you want to go each time you want something related to your puppet managed servers.
