We're doing a simple combination of PXE boot, kickstart, and internal repos, which then hands off to puppet. We also use some rvc for vmware provisioning, which is mostly what happens in our environment.
Not many people appear to be talking about razor<https://github.com/puppetlabs/Razor/wiki>. That, plus puppetdb, seems to offer a way to better handle bare metal provisioning and inventory. Since we're getting into hadoop for a couple projects which will use a collection of bare metal, it looks compelling, but we haven't used it yet. -Domenick On Sunday, September 16, 2012 2:22:03 AM UTC-4, Douglas wrote: > > I'm wondering what people are doing systems provisioning with, ie the > process that gets puppet installed onto a system, running for the > first time, and also the handling of certificate signing and so forth. > I don't see this topic discussed much. > > The mc-provision tools at > https://github.com/ripienaar/mcollective-server-provisioner don't seem > to be actively developed anymore, or at least I wasn't able to find > enough documentation to be able to effectively make use of it. > > Doug > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
