Hi Ed,
I suspect that most of us have the busy disease. Too much to do and not enough
braincells to do it.
If I can not figure out what to do with something in a few minutes/seconds,
I will have to come back to it and then.... I never get back to it.
Help the list get back into the conversation with a bit of overview.
We have :
grplace - a grass roots templating tool
a relatively powerful templating tool for generating
configuration files from XML node configurations.
grcfg - a simple query tool for XML node configurations created
from a set of site description files, suitable for use in
shell scripts. It is intended to make it possible for sites
with little pre-existing infrastructure to make use of a
more advanced tool chain, without committing to a full scale
site configuration engine.
cfgw - An experimental site validator for XML node
configurations, each of which describes a node,
using predicate logic
mcfg - an experimental aspect compiler for creating XML node
configurations from a set of site description files
cfgas - an experimental authorisation system for XML node
configurations created from a set of site description
files
Lets say that I have a site that I want to manage. Since I am interested in the
virtual configuration issue, lets assume that they are virtual machine
instances.
Let's walk thru how to use these tools to deploy 10 virtual machine instances
over 3 physical machines.
I want to have:
machine 1: gateway (router)
machine 2: web server 1
machine 3: dns server 1
machine 4: mail server
machine 5: mysql server
machine 6: dns server 2
machine 7: webserver 2
machine 8: file system 1 Nas 1
machine 9: File system 2 nas 2
Machine 10: Shell server
How do I make this work with these tools?
