Puppet users - Sep 2009 - Announcement: new web interface for puppet and more

Hello All,

I''m happy to announce The Foreman - *Single Address For All Machines
Life
Cycle Management!

Taken from from its website http://theforeman.org
*

Foreman integrates with Puppet
<http://reductivelabs.com/products/puppet>(and acts as web front end
to it).

Foreman takes care of bare bone provisioning until the point puppet is
running, allowing Puppet to do what it does best.

Foreman shows you *Systems Inventory* (based on Facter, even *without store
configs!*) and will eventually provide information about hosts based on
Puppet reports.

Foreman creates everything you need when adding a new machine to your
network,It''s goal being automatically managing everything you would
normally
manage manually - that would eventually include DNS, DHCP, TFTP, PuppetCA,
External Nodes,  CMDB and everything else you might consider useful.

*With Foreman You Can Always Rebuild Your Machines From Scratch!*

The Foreman is designed to work in a large enterprise, where multiple
domains, subnets and puppetmasters are required. In many cases, Foreman
could help remote provisions where no experienced technicians are available.


Foreman is still young - be merciful :)

Ohad

Seems a much better name than the earlier one :-)

I wanted to write something similar (in php, the only language I know)
but this is one more good reason not to start with it ...
Looking forward to talk about it at the camp
