I'm trying to get an idea of what kind of backend setup I would need
to run puppet to manage roughly 6000 hosts.
I see puppet by iteself is limited to 10-20; but with mongrel/apache
that number shoots up but I am not sure by how much?
Im still new to puppet and running it in a lab but want to take it to
our production environment but there are some details that I need to
work out but thought I would pose this question first since there are
surely people who have already went through all this already.
1. With a 1000mb connection, how many clients can I serve with
mongrel apache/setup? I'm guessing around 200-300? or can it take
more?
2. Should I let a high availability apache frontend manage a puppet
backend?
( i.e. load balance port 8140 from apache to multiple puppet backend
servers like so:
<Proxy balancer://puppetmaster>
BalancerMember http://10.0.0.10:18140
BalancerMember http://10.0.0.10:18141
BalancerMember http://10.0.0.10:18142
BalancerMember http://10.0.0.10:18143
BalancerMember http://10.0.0.11:18140
BalancerMember http://10.0.0.11:18141
BalancerMember http://10.0.0.11:18142
BalancerMember http://10.0.0.11:18143
BalancerMember http://10.0.0.12:18140
BalancerMember http://10.0.0.12:18141
BalancerMember http://10.0.0.12:18142
BalancerMember http://10.0.0.12:18143
</Proxy>
)
3. What is the best way to manage client signing and keeping the pem/
files in sync across such a backend?
4. Am I thinking about this type of setup all wrong?
Any advice appreciated
