We are happy to announce the first public release candidate of our Puppet Cloud Provisioner.
This release is available for download at our Module Forge: http://forge.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs/cloud_provisioner<http://downloads.puppetlabs.com/dashboard/> Extensive documentation can be found at: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/cloud_pack_getting_started.html Please report feedback via the Puppet Labs Redmine site, using an affected version of 0.6.0rc1: http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/cloud-pack<http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/dashboard> Overview: The Puppet Cloud Provisioner was written to make it easier to deploy and configure instances in EC2 using Puppet. It contains the following command line actions: puppet node create - Launches a new Amazon EC2 instance. puppet node install - Installs Puppet on an EC2 instance. puppet node init - Installs Puppet on a machine instance and automatically signs its certificates. puppet node list - Lists deployed EC2 instances in a certain region. puppet node terminate - Terminates running EC2 instance. For more detailed information about the available commands, download the module and run: puppet help node More Details about the iteration leading up to this release === * Add --type option to launch different EC2 instance sizes * (#7510) Add inline documentation for actions and options * (#8286) Warn if the payload used with the install action is not a tar.gz file * (#8265) Make the platform flag optional and default to 'AWS' (Note, puppet-provisioner provisions AWS EC2 instances in this release) * (#7511) Add the ability to launch instances in any EC2 region using the --region option. The default region is us-east-1 * (#8157) Improve the feedback of the terminate action by explicitly stating the instance has been terminated. * (#8185) Add a list action to list EC2 instances and their current status. * (#8343) Print the EC2 instance public DNS name as soon as it is available * (#8350) Change all output to use Puppet's configured log destination * (#8348) Add a fingerprint action to make a best effort to obtain the SSH public host key fingerprint from the launched EC2 instance. * (#7508) Add the ability to install Puppet using rubygems on a target system. * (#7508) Improve the install action using template scripts to install Puppet on launched systems. * (#8403) Replace dependency on uuidgen Mac OS X executable with guid gem. * (#8422) Catch the exit status of installation script and display an error if they're non zero. * (#8204) Include a puppet enterprise install script that downloads from S3.
