[ovirt-users] Foreman intergration

[Jorick Astrego]

Would not be that hard to script something like this, but I personally
was thinking about an update scheduler myself. The scheduler stuff is
already there and the whole update mechanism is handled by
katello/subscription-manager.

With a smart update scheduler you could do lots of fancy stuff. Like
rolling out updates/patches over global deployments in pre-defined
patterns. You could then use %pre and %post hooks to run any custom
commands or API call's you like depending on "Host Group" and environment.

Tie in some reporting and faillure notifications and we all the admins
can be free to do others things instead of patching thousands of servers
by hand due to the latest glibc/openssl bug. If the scheduled rollout
works in test, it should be hands off in production.

Keep up the great work!

Cheers,

Jorick

Currently foreman allows to create foreman hosts in top of ovirt (you can use compute resources in foreman to do that), and from the ovirt side it allows you to add a new host taken from wither an existing foreman host, or to bare metal provision one. In the future we plan to allow adding vms through ovirt that will also be also added automatically to foreman, which will allow to assign this VM to some host group in foreman, which then will install different packaged, and set up stuff according to the host group definition.
