Hi, I'm new to puppet, read a bit about it and tried a few things out. It's really a great piece of work. Thanks for doing all this. As part of my work I'm leading the opensource kiwi project which is a plain appliance builder and one aspect of the project is also to help people in migrating a currently running system into an appliance description which then allows to maintain and build into different appliance types, e.g the way from bare metal into the virtual world, or from one architecture into another.
The migration code as it is right now handles the configuration part just by creating copies of configuration files. It relies on config metadata of the rpm database, it takes concepts of autoyast into place. But all this is a pretty humble approach has some room to fail and also limits to specific distribution concepts. I was thinking it could be done better/more generic. So my question is, is puppet able to provide information about the configuration of a system which it did _not_ setup itself in the first place ? information like sshd configuration, apache, etc, etc... my first guess would be it knows best about its own resources but not about services running on a system not managed by puppet so far. Is that correct ? Thanks much Regards, Marcus -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
