[Puppet Users] Re: Trying to manage proper replication for PostgreSQL with Puppet

The current postgres module doesn't implement replication by default. I use the module to build up the DB and get everything going, but the log shipping is setup manually since the failover would be manual. Postgres/mysql are moving towards handling this better internally so the issue may be

Doug, For the most part, Oracle sells 12c cloud control as an enterprise dashboard with provisioning and metering capabilities. 12c provisions using templates and scripts and then has some patching stuff built on that for its oracle products and some os's. It's not an idempotent based system

We use both as they solve different problems. I don't use any of the OS provisioning or metering in 12c as i use puppet for that but being that we run a lot of oracle stuff, i use the oracle management tool packs quite extensively. We run puppet agents offline and use mcollective to orchestra
