First Pitch: Puppet

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.
