I'm really not interested in puppet or chef for this purpose, for about a zillion reasons. Here's the simplest most important one: Config management is great, if you're building new systems, and especially if you're building and removing a lot of systems from production on a regular basis, and you own it all from scratch. Not great if you inherited a small number of undocumented customer facing servers which are already in production. Yes, of course, the plan is to build a new standard, including all the documentation, and replace the existing servers. But if you seriously have only 1-3 servers to maintain, it's not worth building another server to be the config management server. (How do you manage the config of the config management server anyway?) Thank you for the suggestion though. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
