Hello the smart proxy chef plugin is only a proxy between Foreman - chef-client and Foreman - chef-server. Most of Foreman functionality proxies the communication through smart-proxy, the idea is that Foreman is running on one place e.g. in office while you need to talk to many hosts in datacenters. These hosts might not be accessible from outside network so you put smart-proxy to the datacenter and make this as the only available endpoint.
It's totally up to you if you decide to go this path, if this is not your case, you can just add one plugin on foreman side. For iot devices it really depends on what you're trying to achieve. Describing that on few examples would help me understand what you need. -- Marek On pátek 30. června 2017 14:40:53 CEST Fairouz el ouazi wrote: > Hi , it's me again im really sorry for asking a lot of question but when > take a look to the documetation i didn't get a clear idea about the real > job of smart proxy chef plugin and why on chef we have a client plugin and > on salt we don't have it ?? and if my platform is not agent less would it > be necessary to have 3 plugin one on foreman and other one on smart proxy > foreman and the third on my iot devices ? > > Le mercredi 28 juin 2017 11:50:40 UTC+2, Fairouz el ouazi a écrit : > > Hi everyone , > > > > I'm a beginner in using foreman ,So before in take the adventure i > > > > want to know if the fact that it exists a plugin for managing chef is > > there > > any chance to develop a new one that will manage my own platform X > > (PLatform that manage IOT devices ) .
