Puppet users - Mar 2012 - How Puppet can interact with CloudStack API?

Hello everyone,

has anyone used Puppet to configure virtual
machines managed and deployed with CloudStack?

In other words, are there any mechanisms by which
Puppet is able to easily interact with CloudStack API?

Thanks in advance,

Giuseppe

You should really checkout Jason Hancock''s blog:

http://geek.jasonhancock.com/

He''s got copious amounts of documentation there regarding how he chose
to integrate the two and even extend the CloudStack API.

We actually tried to get Puppet Labs to develop something along the
lines of Ken Barber''s OpenNebula work[1] but instead interfacing to the
CloudStack or a more generic API.

Sadly they didn''t seem to want to take our money and so we''re
still
looking to do this in house or find another contractor.

The nice thing about this model is that VMs just become resources you
declare in puppet manifests, and you don''t have to rely on scripting to
maintain your enviroment.
