Ok, question for you. ;-) The first thing that tipped me toward puppet instead of chef was the lack of push. Has that changed? Actually - it's a couple of things on these lines - I don't know what people think they're using these systems for, but I never have hundreds of identical machines. I have a hardened base, and then an additional process to configure the web front end, which will be done on the www machines, and another process to add the database, and another to add the monitoring system, etc. Sometimes these are private servers, some development, some public production servers. So it seems kind of insane that the managed systems would have to call back to the configuration system - Having the web exposed systems polling a server on my LAN - I want the configuration system to make outbound connections only. And I'm paid by the hour, so I need to make a change and push it now - Even if I weren't paid by the hour, I would expect to see instant gratification fo r the work I'm doing, rather than wait for the client agent to poll my configuration server - How does chef handle this? _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
