[Puppet Users] Puppet Master VMs

2012-03-05 Thread Jeffrey Watts
I am. I run ours on a 1GB RAM VM with 2 vCPUs. We manage about 500 Linux
servers, each checking in every 30 mins. It's pretty much idle, though I'm
gradually rolling out our modules so our catalog currently compiles fast.
I'm using Webrick, and plan on moving to Passenger/Apache whenever it
starts slowing down.

run Dashboard on another VM.

I run puppetmaster (2.7.11) and dashboard (1.2.3) with Passenger/Apache 
(3.0.11/2.2.3) and mysql db (5.0.77) on a single rhel5.5 VM. I service about 
700 clients with hourly check-ins. I used to also run mcollective on this VM 
but have since moved it. The VM is *slightly* overprovisioned with 4 vCPUs and 
20GB of memory.

Hey Jeffrey,

You should really look at moving to Passenger from webrick.  Webrick is
great for development purposes, but is NOT ideal for production
environments.  The fact that you're running webrick with 500 nodes makes me
think that your catalogs might be fairly small.  If it's been working for
you, then that's awesome, but I'd definitely look towards Passenger :)
