Spent Tonight Playing with Cobbler

... Pretty interesting stuff. Combined with the dnsmasq used with KVM, I think this will make a nice little test lab for my configuration management tool bakeoff. Now for bed, up in 4 and a half hours.

Things that have my attention right now

  • Puppet/Cfengine
  • Func
  • Cobbler
  • yum
  • KVM

Blah

As the description says, this blog is an attempt to document my adventure in moving an Enterprise UNIX Group from our current ways of doing things to a more agile approach. The topics covered will be Linux (in our case RedHat) and Configuration Management tools. I will be conducting a small proof of concept between Puppet 2.6.x and Cfengine 3.x to see which tool suits our needs best.

I am a Solaris Administrator of the old school variety (just kicked the ksh habit) and with the help of some colleagues am learning more and more about Linux, the details of which I will attempt to post here.
