Hi,
Is anyone currently deploying the pulp-consumer client and
registering/binding to repos in an automated fashion? I was surprised
to see that there was not a Puppet module out on Forge for this
already. I do see a module on github:
https://github.com/KrisBuytaert/puppet-pulp
While this module does install the pulp-consumer client, it doesn't
do anything beyond that like registering to the Pulp server or binding
to repositories. I would think that this would be somewhat of a
standard procedure for those running Pulp, but maybe not?
I am not depoying pulp via puppet currently, but was actually going to
be looking into that shortly.
Getting ready to start moving pulp into a more general use and that
means deploying it via puppet. So pretty good timing on your email.
I took a look at the module, and like you does look like a good start,
but not complete.
What sort of things would you want the module to do? you mentioned
registering to the pulp server and binding to repos. Been trying to
think of other items that would be good for a puppet module for pulp
to do (at least from a consumer perspective) and figured check to
see if you had additional ideas...

P.S. kudos to the pulp dev's. 2.2 is much faster and better on memory
usage during repo syncs.
I'm also interested in the automated registering/binding with puppet.
I've been thinking a lot about this recently, especially since I am
going to need to register/bind several hundred VMs that already exist
but are not currently registered to the pulp server. Its relatively easy
to do at the deploy/kickstart process, but for the hosts already
running, I was thinking of doing some hacky parsing of the output of
'pulp-consumer status' to find out if it has been registered already.
The binding can obviously be scripted out on the pulp server later.
I also thought of using the same certs that puppet is using (like we do
with func) so it possibly wouldn't have to actually register to the pulp
server/pupetmaster, but I guess when you register a system, it populates
a document in mongodb.
