Kevin, You can do this two ways.
1. Use RightScale 2. Roll your own solution by using userdata. In the userdata, you store information about what each VM is supposed to become. Your template contains puppet or chef scripts. Those scripts will access the userdata for that VM and use that to determine how it branches. --Alex > -----Original Message----- > From: Kevin [mailto:spam4...@gmail.com] > Sent: Thursday, May 31, 2012 5:52 AM > To: CloudStack Users > Subject: How to Bundle Apps? > > My users aren't very interested in deploying generic vm templates and > would rather have various prebuilt vm options (mysql database, tomcat > webserver, OpenGeo, OMAR, RBAC, ...) templates to choose from similar to > AWS. > > Is there a plan for cloudstack to integrate a puppet or chef like feature so I > don't have to prebuild tons of double digit gigabyte vm templates into the > secondary storage? > > It seems like a waste of space repeating the operating system like that. > Would much rather store the OS as a generic base template once and then > have post install recipes that will go through the vm after deployment and > install the latest rpm's of the users choosing. > > Kevin F. > > Sent from my phone
