Puppet and OpenQRM

Matt Rechenburg is the author of OpenQRM, a multi-platform provisioning tool (competing with tools like Kickstart and FAI).  He has recently announced integration between it and Puppet:

…this step is another milestone for the openQRM project which now includes the automatic configuration management features for the managed appliances powered by Puppet. With integrating Puppet into openQRM the mission is to provide a generic web-based user interface for the Puppet manifest. The current state already provides some pre-made classes like web-server, database-server, lamp etc. and automatically sets up Puppet for the openQRM environment in best-practice  manner by keeping the manifest in an snv-repository.

John Willis had a say, too:

The important thing, in my opinion, about the the openQRM Puppet integration transaction is that it exposes the exciting and beautiful things about open source. From a discussion about the importance of the integration of provisiong and configuration management, (i.e., openQRM and Puppet), to a fully developed integrated solution, only took 3 weeks. Imagine this discussion happening between even the most agile of proprietary vendors and the time line of something like this to happen. In the proprietary example they would still be playing phone tag just to figure out how their lawyers could talk. I am pretty sure Matt never even called Luke once during that whole process.

I haven’t yet had the chance to give OpenQRM a try, but hopefully this will encourage others to try it, and maybe one of those others will let me know how it goes for them. :)

  1. OMG!!! i wish i had the same luck too . . .

  2. For sure, the most visible change in this remarkable openQRM 4.6 release is the optical facelift, resulting in a streamlined and user-friendly web interface. The “Datacenter Dashboard” was redesigned and now provides a clean and complete overview about status and performance of all managed subsystems.
