Oliver, et al: Take a look at some of the work that Dan Bode has done on the puppet resources for CloudStack: https://github.com/bodepd/cloudstack_resources You can then specify instances like: cloudstack_instance { 'foo2': ensure => present, flavor => 'Small Instance', zone => 'FMT-ACS-001', image => 'CentOS 5.6(64-bit) no GUI (XenServer)', network => 'puppetlabs-network', group => 'foo2', } Or even specify multiple instances as a class, or just like in knife - use the interactive tools to provision nodes. --David
