Hoping i am not getting wires crossed or misunderstanding here. I administer the broadsoft and sbc voip platform, our sysadmins uses puppet not for orchestration or vm management but for configuration management with a puppet client (http://puppetlabs.com/) The puppet deployment we have focuses on keeping configuration files in sync and current and have rollback in case someone badly fubar the OS platform.

That system may be problematic since the service model is usually a fixed number of features in inventory. I would think you could use puppet to spin up media servers as needed - and network servers to a lesser extent. As for engaging BroadSoft TAC I would ask them this - if the server was provisioned and placed into server in a more traditional manner - would BroadSoft TAC allow tickets to be opened? Assuming the answer would be yes - I would then position your Puppet deployment to BroadSoft TAC as just that - your deployment platform (jump box to them). Other than asking permission I doubt you would need to ask BroadSoft anything around Puppet in particular - just tell them your servers are being provisioned via Puppet. If the servers are provisioned to BSFT spec then you should be ok.

When we queried them around the use of puppet or any other 3d party software of any kind, their reply was that general policy is not to support any software not loaded by Broadsoft that can even remotely possibly interfere with the working of the application. Anything we cannot raise a TAC on is not supported. On 07/12/2014 21:22, Alex Hardie wrote: Wait - why would BroadSoft even be aware of Puppet? I assume orchestration was around spinning up various servers - AS servers are the only ones that would be bound by licenses. Spinning up NS or MS should be transparent - they (BroadSoft) wouldn't care. What servers were you provisioning ?
