Whiteboard
Since you changed the definition to discussion I have been thinking about this more and would like to change the proposal.
I do not believe we should add MCollective to Turnkey Core!
My preference would be to create a child/parallel Core product that would effectively be Turnkey Core – Cloud.
This new base would effectively be the same build as TK Core except would add some standard cloud based tools for management.
At this stage I would propose adding – Mcollective and Puppet/Chef.
Then any appliances specifically built for multiple deployment could use this base build as a starting point. An example of this would be a Hardoop appliance which could be multiple times. A system administrator could then leverage an existing Puppet or Chef infrastructure to build/update/
Having a default/secure base build would be a boon for companies or individuals would would like to build up a cloud platform with some Turnkey building blocks. I forsee that if we had cloud enabled appliances like - webservers, database servers, hardoop servers, application appliances (App Engine, Tomcat Ruby on Rails), ... it would provide a new webstartup with an easy way to get up and running.
Goto Turnkey Hub, choose the appliances required deploy the build and use Puppet/MCollective to configure and deploy their service.
Thoughts?
