Hello all,
In preparation for the meeting I thought I'd write something about the
state of our puppet use.
First of all, we manage access. I think this works reasonably well, but
the workflow for completeness.
* (New) infra member creates a class ovirt_infra::user::USERNAME
* It is submitted as a review to
gerrit.ovirt.org
* Once merged, it's added to the production hostgroup
* On the next puppet runs the user is created
The second big thing we do, is manage our jenkins slaves. I'm not sure I
like the workflow because it's so static. I wonder why so many system
dependencies are needed and if we can't build using mock. This ensures a
clean build.
Another thing we must fix is renaming ovirt_infra::jenkins-slave to
ovirt_infra::jenkins_slave or ovirt_infra::jenkins::slave because a dash
is discouraged and broken in modern puppet versions.
The next IMHO big improvement is merging r10k deployments,
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/19141. Once that's done, I'd also like to add
tests through
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/20367.
For the future I have some other ideas:
* Use puppet exported resources to automatically build the icinga
configuration.
* Split linode01 into separate servers and manage those using puppet.
* Documentation
Comments, feedback or anything I missed?
