I'm working on some features on the development branch (Cobbler 1.3 and later) that will make it very easy for admins to set up new machines/nodes so that they are running Func out of the box. I think this is a very powerful way to deploy things so that they are controllable later and should hopefully introduce more people to Func (http://fedorahosted.org/func). You can read more about what I'm doing here:
https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/wiki/FuncIntegration On a related note, I still need some help testing the Puppet external nodes integration feature on the devel branch ... https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/wiki/UsingCobblerWithConfigManagementSystem In conjunction these become nicely powerful in that you have a config management system and also a system (Func!) for one-off tasks, misc scripting, and "do this now!" type activity. Coupled with a deployment system (Cobbler) this becomes especially nice. Read an outside view on this in terms of Francesco Crippa's presentation to Linux TAG this year: http://people.byte-code.com/fcrippa/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/fcrippa_large-scale-env.pdf --Michael _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
