Hi Josh,
thanks for your answer. That sounds definitely encouraging. From the
documentation I had not expected it to be so easy ;-)
Regards, David

David,
You don't necessarily need to use the pulp-consumer client on your
hosts just to use Pulp repositories. You can simply drop yum repo
definitions down to each host that point to the pulp repos. We
automate and manage these yum repo definitions with Puppet. When
kickstarting, simply point your KS to the pulp-repository containing
the distribution packages just like you would if it were a normal
non-pulp repository.
Thanks,
Josh

[Pulp-list] pulp supporting automated deployment/test scenarios?
Hi,
I'm currently evaluating pulp as a yum repo backend for a Scientific
Linux cluster and several other groups of machines. The setup is
puppet and foreman based. Development is done in local vagrant
boxes.
Using vagrant, I expect regular turn-over of consumers. I gather that
pulp-consumer always has to register with the server first using
username/password and it seems to me that unregistering the client is
a manual process.
I've got several questions I was unable to answer from reading the
documentation:
- Is there a way to use pulp repositories without registration?
- If not, is there a way to timeout registrations easily, so the
server is not home to a huge number of zombies?
- If not, how would kickstarting against a pulp repository work?
- Is it possible to use duplicate consumer-ids (concurrently)?
- Will pulp-admin rpm repo copy rpm also remove RPMs that are not
available at --from-repo-id anymore?
- Does the RPM provider also synchronize the images/ directory
required for kickstarting?
Thanks for your time, David
