Puppet users - May 2010 - Migration cost when switching from the Foreman to Puppet Dashboard and vice versa

Hi.


We''re playing around with the Foreman and Puppet Dashboard, deciding
on which one to go for. An important aspect for us is what migration
cost would be if we went for one, and later on decided to switch to
the other. Have anyone thoughts on this?


Best regards,
Kenneth Holter

Hi,

Most of Foreman data can be generated automatically (e.g. facts, puppet
classes, environments etc)
the only exceptions is external nodes:

Nodes info - if you are not using external nodes, this has to be entered
manually.
if you are already using another external node tool, you can just import
that into Foreman.

Parameters (external nodes variables)
if you use the variable hierarchy (e.g. set defaults, and override them in
the domain , host level etc, you would probably need to set this manually
too).

if you want to import the reports you can still do it if you have the
original YAML files, and in theory it should be possible to import it also
from dashboard db, but I never really tried.

hope this helps,
Ohad
