I've seen a couple of examples of using puppet to control services where you can't run a puppet agent on the resource. As far as I can tell they work by having puppet proxy through some external-service control mechanism, such as fog. The question is: where does the proxy run? I assume a puppet age

FYI: MySQL performs fine with 100G files if you set it up correctly. I haven't used the dashboard or looked at the source code, but with that kind of storage I'd say you have a write-heavy application. You can tune for that quite easily, although scaling beyond a single master will be a bit more tr
