Hi scott, we do. our puppet master runs as a KVM guest with 2 cpu,s 1G mem and 1g swap. it currently serves ~30 puppet agents. because we restart all those agents using cron every night (because of mem leak in ruby 1.8) the mem load is a bit high on this master when all those agents try to fetch their catalog after startup. this might be reason for us to increase mem size. other details: We run the master as passenger behind apache and use a separate mysql server to run the storeconfig db. this off course gives the master some relief. We have no complaints about performance. (but with only ~30 modules we don't have a very heavy config for now) normal catalog run on an avarage server takes 15-20 seconds. only the nagios host exceeds this time to more than a minute sometime because of the enormous amount of tests (we test ~2500 things on nearly 90 hosts). in the future we might start using Hiera (we suspect this to increase load) and we will place another master in our other datacenter. this will be a VM as well. that will lower the load for as long as each DC has less servers each than we have in total now. we will add more and more modules. kinds regards, Alex On Thursday, March 1, 2012 10:18:56 PM UTC+1, Scott Merrill wrote: > > Is anyone running their Puppet Master server(s) as virtual guests?
