[Puppet Users] Puppet cloud provisioning and VMware mac address allocation?
Hi all, I''ve been working on fully automating the VM provisioning for some months now and one piece I could not resolve yet is to automate the dhcp/dns automation and just because I cannot obtain the VM mac address that vsphere/vcenter will allocate to a new vm. I am aware of 3rd party tools such as foreman, but in fact, I am concerned they do not follow puppet release cycle, or it''s not their priority ;) I am sure that I am not the first one facing this bottleneck when ~200/300 VMs needs to be created. For theas reason I would like to know from those faced this issue and how they worked it out in an efficient manner. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[Puppet Users] Re: Puppet cloud provisioning and VMware mac address allocation?
Hi Ohad, Yes, you are right, Foreman team is great with this community - I didn''t meant otherwise. All I want is to explore options to fetch mac addresses assigned by vsphere. that''s all. Anyone can shed some light from experience? thanks all.
