Hmm, I’m interested in hearing more about the agentless consumer proposal as 
well.

I recently removed pulp from of all my consumers completely and instead have 
only the Pulp server. I use puppet to deploy the yum.repos.d files and 
sslcacert that needs to present on the consumers. I use good old-fashioned ssh 
to do the yum updates.

I’ve been using pulp for about 2+ years, and I’ve always battled with SSL cert 
issues (we have a root CA so I was dealing with an intermediary cert for the 
pulp server which was tricky) as well as message queues (qpid and rabbitmq) 
always going down either from the messaging server or the consumer/agent 
itself.  This is not to say it was pulp’s fault, but I felt like it was 
overkill for only 300ish servers we need to manage.  This new setup we’re using 
is way simpler and less for me to manage…just a server serving pulp repos.

Subject: [Pulp-list] pulp without consumer agents

I recently saw a youtube pulp video that I think was dated Jan 2016, the 
speaker was from redhat and mentioned in passing that pulp was going to be 
phasing out consumer agents.  Does anyone know anything more about this?  We 
are running into problems being allowed to install anything on our servers and 
it would be handy if we could manage server patching from the pulp server 
without having to install a consumer agent on the consumers.

thanks,
EJ
