Currently we have two puppetmaster servers with ALL requests being load balanced. I use unison to keep the ssl directory in sync between hosts. Each server runs keepalived and requests go to a VIP that exists on one of the servers. The server with the VIP load balances the requests (mod_proxy) between both servers.
It's working relatively fine, though it would be ideal to have the agents connect at semi-random intervals in order to reduce "thundering herd" issues. We are over 500 without any real issues. Also, the decentralized approach works fine but there are caveats related to the use of custom functions that rely on a central server, virtual resources(?), etc. I would try to scale your masters as it's not that hard. -Ryan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
