Hello, I am pleased to announce a big set of module releases that bring Choria support to Puppet 6. As you might be aware Puppet Inc deprecated MCollective in Puppet 6[1] and the old MCollective files that came in AIO Puppet along with init scripts and support directories are not there anymore. The Choria Project created a new Gem that bring those back to Puppet 6 which along with the Choria Server delivers a compatible experience. Today I am releasing Puppet modules that preserves the Just Works experience even on Puppet 6 Please note that the Choria Server is still in pre-1.0.0 release level and there are some things to be aware of outlined on it's documentation. Additionally these modules represent a big change to the deployment and so requires careful testing in your labs. Things to keep in mind:
* On Puppet AIO 6 you will now automatically be switched to Choria Server, mcollectived does not exist anymore * On Puppet AIO 6 you will now automatically get a choria-release repository added, controllable using *choria::manage_package_repo* * If you are on a mix Puppet 5 and 6 environment you need to set JSON encoding as per the deployment docs[2]. * On Puppet AIO 6 you will see a new gem choria-mcorpc-support[3] installed into the AIO Ruby * Windows is not yet supported * Read the pre-release documentation for Choria Server[4] keeping in mind limitations mentioned there That said these modules work and we have had a significant number of users who have ran the Choria Server on their systems with great success. We believe the upgrade process should be smooth but welcome any feedback and bugs. Special thanks to Puppet Inc who donated the legacy MCollective source code to the Choria project, this can be found in a the choria-legacy GitHub Organisation[5] that's been set up to preserve this code.
