Don't know it that well yet, but the bits that are appealing to me are the dashboard functionality (for puppet reporting) and the 'Smart Proxy' concept to drive external services as part of provisioning. That takes care of the puppet signing issue but in our case we have bespoke system that runs our DHCP/DNS servers. Cobbler can manage BIND/isc-dhpcd, but we have to click through an external webapp to reserve the IP and FQDN up front. A small REST app in front of that looks like it should be able to allow automation with a Foreman setup. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
