It sounds like we have Puppet expertise in the group, I don't know if
anyone knows about Foreman. Looks inclusive, might be a new skill
someone wants to tackle.
http://theforeman.org/
I presume we could start using Puppet right away, based on existing
skills, and transition that work in to Foreman later?
Part of this is we want to be sanely rolling out new hosts, and can do
that immediately with our Puppet experience. My only concern would be
if ramp-up time for Foreman delayed that too long. But if ramp-up is
quick or things can be done in parallel, it definitely sounds interesting.
I have experience with both puppet and foreman. Foreman is a very nice
tool. Foreman is basically a nice frontend for puppet combined with
deployment. Since we have a diverse environment where we mostly can't
directly deploy I think we should just start with puppet for now.
Transitioning will be relative easy anyway.
