Hi Cody, Thanks for your response.
As Specified by you I understood this way. Please correct me if I am wrong. 1) I will be having a ready new VM with Ubuntu installed. So I dont need to execute the step "puppet node create --image ami-2342a94a -- keypair jeff --type t1.micro" in the link https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-cloud-provisioner. 2) In the step ssh -i ~/.ssh/jeff.pem r...@ec2-107-20-18-142.compute-1.amazonaws.com, I can replace the amazon url with my local VM IP. (Ex: xx.xxx.xx.xxx). 3) The command "puppet node install --login root --keyfile ~/.ssh/ jeff.pem ec2-107-20-18-142.compute-1.amazonaws.com" (replaced with my local IP) will install the puppet on the specified IP. 4) Command "ssh r...@ec2-107-20-18-142.compute-1.amazonaws.com puppet --version" will display the puppet version of the newly installed local IP. (Will the puppet is installed with the new version. And how can we specify the which version to install in this step.) The next step is now I need to install some modules that are located in the server on to newly created IP. I think in chef the server will copy on to the new VM in /tmp location and install the modules on that IP. After installing it will delete the copied module. So, is there any mechanism in Puppet. Also, in chef if we bootstrap any vm, that will be registered as agent to the server and logs what modules have been installed on that machine. There is a search functionality where we can get the list of IP's where a particular module has been installed (by writing a query in the recipe). Thanks in advance, Sateesh B.
