Hello,
I wanted to share the status quo on the infra setup, where we stand, and
what the roadmap looks like.
Basically, the admin team is investigating Puppet as configuration
framework, but since this one is quite mighty, it takes a lot of time to
implement all our current settings with it. In parallel, we are also
investigating other frameworks like SALT, but all of those need heavy
work to reflect our setup.
However, as we have to deploy and upgrade some machines better yesterday
than tomorrow, I started hacking a small configuration script on my own.
I started to convert the existing documentation into a fully scriptable
one, that also takes some precautions for future distribution versions,
by ignoring indents, default settings and the like.
Today, I have achieved the first stage, which means I can now fully
unattended deploy an Ubuntu 12.04 server with the TDF settings. Using
the self-written scripts, this only takes a few minutes, depending on
available bandwith.
This is only the first stage - I still need to do the very same for the
web server, Postfix and other components, but it is a first achievement,
and now that I have some routine in parsing configuration files, I hope
the rest happens faster. :-)
I just wanted to share this with you, so you know a lot of things are
happening right now, and I am confident that we soon can shut down the
first old machines and replace it with newer ones, based on the new
platform setup.
Florian
