Hello,

Reading the doc I could not find if Puppet could help running system
updates.

I would like to get started with several VMWare guests and few hosts,
all running CentOS. Some are 32bits, some 64bits. These are mostly
VMWare server installations; just starting ESXi with one system. They
are running different apps/configurations.

Of course there are few issues with:

1- VMWare tools that want to be sometimes recompiled on Linux. There
is a trick to avoid the recompilation:
http://vmetc.com/2008/08/31/automating-vmware-tools-installs-and-upgrades-in-linux-guests/
but maybe this could be taken care of with Puppet?

2- VMWare server on the host sometimes does not restart after a kernel
update. It also need to be recompiled. Of course the VM Guests are
down.

3- The host kernel updates might require reboot, shutting down guests.


Can Puppet help for these tasks? Examples?
Thanks,
Thierry
