To scale out foreman, would be very similar to any rails app, normally you could: 1. use a load balancer across multiple foreman rails instances (e.g. on multiple machines) 2. cluster your db Foreman already supports both configuration (and has been implemented by various community members with large scale deployments). additionally, the enc script keeps a cache on each puppet master, so in case when foreman is down, it would serve the last good enc data that came from foreman. hope this helps, Ohad > FWIW, we'll later implement multiple pairs of redundant Puppet servers to > support environments we want managed separately, e.g. Production vs. Test. > > Thanks, > Justin > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Puppet Users" group. > To post to this group, send email to puppet-users@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > puppet-users+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
