Hi, We are going to do REST communication between Puppet Master's node and Stratos Manager's node as described below.
We will use webpy[1] simple python opensource framework in order to build our REST API to communicate with Puppet master's node. In order to achieve this we may follow below steps. 1. Install Webpy framework + our python REST API code on Puppet Master's Computer. Initially we have decided to stay on Webpy's built in web server,but when we are getting more hits on our store we might need to install webpy on Light-httpd server or HTTPD server in order to handle more requests as they recommend it. 2. Indeed this service must be very secured as we are executing some root command using our API . For an example we need to extract puppet modules to puppet master's /etc/puppet/ folder!!. So our security plan is to use SSL with built in cherrypy server [2] and secure our API using a security token. 3. At last but not least we may create automation scripts in order to automate above steps. Here below I ll list some sample REST calls that we are going to shoot! List Current available puppet Modules - GET https://{{Server}}/listmodules. (out put should be a json) Install a module - GET https://{{Server}}/install/{{Module-name}}. So this is our current plan for the integration and this is open to discuss !!
