Thank you so much for your information.. I'm using cloudstack to manage both virtual and physical infrastructure. 1.Can you tell me how the cloudstack and puppet communicate with each other. 2. Is puppet has some built in scripts like to increase the storage of a physical machine or we need to write the scripts?

What will you be using Cloudstack for? Will you be using it to offer a Cloud service offering for customers, or is it something that will be used internally to help manage your infrastructure? If security is a concern and you do not want your internal physical environment to communicate with the Cloudstack environments, you could use multiple puppet masters and some kind of sync tool to sychronise your puppet manifests and modules. I use gitlab / github and Jenkins. I commit changes to my repo in say Gitlab and use Jenkins to roll out those changes to my puppet masters - see here http://virtualdevops.com/2013/01/gitlab-jenkins-and-puppet-playing.html. Therefore you could have one puppet master for your Cloudstack environment and one for your physical environment and keep everything separate - that model scales too. If you are just using Cloudstack internally to spin up VMs and help manage your infrastructure, and you have no security concerns about opening up internal ports on your physical network to the Cloudstack network(s), then you could get away with using one puppet master to manage both your Cloudstack environment and your internal physical environment. I would install puppet on its own server in any case and it could be in the Cloudstack environment or on the physical environment. Seems to me you have choices, as long as you have the right network and firewall configurations in place. Cloudstack offers great firewalling and nat'ing capabilities. It also offering VPC private gateways and other mechanisms to deal with this type of scenario.

So I need to install puppet on the cloud stack(where the management server reside) and puppet master communicates to the physical host through agents which is installed on physical host.. Is it correct. -----Original Message----- From: Oliver Leach [mailto:oliver.le...@tatacommunications.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2013 2:35 PM To: users@cloudstack.apache.org Subject: RE: puppet integartion It kind of depends as there are a couple of different ways you can do this, but the answer is yes. You can use Cloudstack to deploy your virtual machines managed by a puppet infrastructure, then as long as that puppet master is able to communicate with your physical environment, then you should be able to manage 'other environments using puppet' outside of Cloudstack. You would need to come up with a classification method for your physical environment, but that's a puppet consideration rather than a Cloudstack one. Is that what you mean?
