Hi all,
We use the roles/profiles/components model originally suggested by Craig
Dunn fairly heavily. In our case:
- The role is a business name, like "Application X App Server"
- The profile is the technical name, like "Base Components" or
"Webserver"
- The components are either wrapper classes around modules or modules
themselves, like "PHP" or "Apache".
For the most part, this works well. We can have, for example:
- MyFace Application Server
- Base Components
- SSSD
- Sudo
- NTP
- PHP Webserver
- PHP
- Apache
- PHP-FPM
- Memcache
However, we're running into trouble how to handle the situation where you're
running a box with multiple functions... for example, WordPress and Drupal.
In that case, how do you handle configuration conflicts? On the surface,
it seems like we would create a more generic profile like "PHP Webserver"
(like I did in the above example). If I do this, however, I lose the
ability to define profile specific variables such as firewall rules, cron
jobs, etc.
Any thoughts on this?
Best,
Matt
