Hi,
Could anyone point out a good existing discussion of Puppet scalability?
I'm relating to the Puppet master and ecosystem parts that are not the
actual agents sitting on the managed servers.
In particular anything that would shed insight upon:

Thanks kindly to all for the thoughtful responses. I'll be looking closely
at the idea of using load balanced Puppet servers.
I wonder if anyone has any thoughts on the other problem I'm told I'll
probably encounter, namely the difficulty in compiling Ruby and other
packages in AIX, HPUX & earlie

Subject: [Puppet Users] Puppet / scalability
Hi list,
I am looking at configuration management tool options.
I have a large fleet (> 3,000 hosts) and highly heterogeneous
(RHEL3-5, CentOS, 5RH7, Solaris 10 LDOMs/zones, Solaris 8-9, AIX 5.3 &
6.1 LPARs, HP-UX & Tru64 + Windows).
Hi Alex,
Just a quick point,
Glad to see Team Puppet out in force to show you the light! That CF rep, needs
a swift kick in the …. well, I don't want to advocate violence here, I think he
can do with being added to your junk mail list.
3000 hosts? No problem! You have to serve one session per

On the actual scaling question... Puppet (2.6.x+) is easy to scale as it
is just HTTP(S) traffic. You can front-e

Nigel,
Don't we have one or two an order of magnitude larger than that?

I think they're looking at 300K or so. And I believe we have a few more at
that size as well.

3k? I know of larger but can't comment on who they are, but they are close
to 8-10k nodes AFAIK if not more by now.

Hi list,
I am looking at configuration management tool options.
I have a large fleet (> 3,000 hosts) and highly heterogeneous
(RHEL3-5, CentOS, 5RH7, Solaris 10 LDOMs/zones, Solaris 8-9, AIX 5.3 &
6.1 LPARs, HP-UX & Tru64 + Windows). We care mainly about RHEL and
new versions of Solaris & AIX bu

I have updated the Wiki entry with a warning (where's the tag?) and
references to the bugs on certificate chaining
I'm not 100% comfortable with a single CA, so would it be possible to do the
following:
ca_server = puppet-ca.example.com
rsync the ssl dir every 5 minutes to puppet-c
There is an open bug with 0.25.x (and 2.6) which breaks certificate
chaining.
this works well for the 0.24.x series, and I hope that will work again
sometime in the near future with 2.6.x series.
I would recommend you at the moment to use one machine as the CA, if you can
accept the fact that its
