How would you define it?
by Mike McGrath 25 Jun '08

25 Jun '08

So I'm working on a language.xml document. I'm referencing rfc2119 for some def's but I'm not sure what to do about others. How would the people on this list define the following? client: server: host: end user: admin: Its been surprisingly difficult to come up with some so I thought I'd just drop by the list and see what others thought. -Mike

We'd talked in our FUDCon session briefly about puppet modules and unless there's a technical reason not to, I think that every endorsed application should have one of these puppet modules associated with it. There's also an FAS group called 'gitcsi' that will give you access to our git repo: http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/csi.git/ At the end of the day, configuration management is at the CORE of what will make this work. Configuration management like puppet and cfengine are basically sysadming for adults :) -Mike

First Pitch: Puppet
by Jeroen van Meeuwen 21 Jun '08

Hi there, here's a first standard I'd like to pitch and get you guys involved with. I've been using puppet in a number of environments including my "servers" at home, ranging from just a couple of servers to a thousand desktop/laptop/server organization. The things I've figured out over time, I'm going to try and use at the Fedora Infrastructure as well, and make up a standard or best practice for configuration management. Some of you might use other configuration management tools as well; I'd also like you to kick in and tell me what I'm doing wrong. So, I guess the title of the standard would be "Configuration Management" or something like that. I'll give you something to ponder right-away. I've been packaging or actually rebuilding the stack that is needed for the puppetmaster to run the mongrel server type instead of the default webrick, since webrick inherent to the Ruby stack (?) can only do one thread at a time. So, for starters, I'd recommend using mongrel straight-away as the initial server type. Let me know what you think ;-) Kind regards, Jeroen van Meeuwen -kanarip P.S. Also working on puppetmanaged.org; which will have HUGE benefit from what you guys bring in here.
