I''ve recently been looking to move my KVM management (currently via Puppet and virt-manager) to something web-based and robust (ie "Cloud"), and came across OpenQRM. Looking at the features list it mentions "puppet Class/Machine management". Has anyone that uses Puppet extensively given this a try? I''d like to get input on how this works. The only ENC or GUI interface I''ve used with Puppet is Foreman (which is awesome btw), but this peaked my interest. Thus far I''ve tried Cloudstack (a few months ago) and Convirt, both were great, but not what I needed. Any input on experiences with OpenQRM as it relates to Puppet would be great, thanks. - Trey -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Re: [Puppet Users] Slightly OT: Puppet + OpenQRM
Hi Trey, just some infos what you can do with openQRM''s Puppet integration. Via the openQRM puppet plugin Puppet gets installed and setup automatically in best practice manner by auto-creating a subversion repository for your recipes. This repo then already includes some default openQRM puppet recipes. The puppet plugin also provides a UI to then map/assign your recipes to your systems. The puppet Cloud integration allows you to create "Cloud Products" out of your recipes which then can be selected (and charged) by the users. Would be looking forward to your feedback when you give it a try. greetz + best, Matt Rechenburg Project Manager openQRM -----Original-Nachricht-----> Von: James Turnbull <james@puppetlabs.com> > An: puppet-users@googlegroups.com > Betreff: Re: [Puppet Users] Slightly OT: Puppet + OpenQRM > Datum: Tue, 06 Sep 2011 18:57:57 +0200> treydock wrote: > > I''ve recently been looking to move my KVM management (currently via > > Puppet and virt-manager) to something web-based and robust (ie > > "Cloud"), and came across OpenQRM.

From some videos I''ve seen around the net I''ll likely use Foreman to provision new systems on KVM as well. Something like OpenQRM is for things like console access, pool management, snapshots, migrations so on. Really this move to GUI management is more for the continuity of my projects in my absence or to allow someone not familiar with Puppet and KVM command line management to assist me in day-to-day operations. Plus my bosses'' boss is hung up on having a "Cloud" and a nice shinny web interface(s) will help sell my proposed open-source cloud rather than my counter-part''s Microsoft cloud. Some people just don''t appreciate command-line. Thank - Trey -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
