Add to Turnkey Core - MCollective

Registered by Peter

Marionette Collective (AKA MCollective) is a framework for building server orchestration or parallel job execution systems.

Details on the software is located at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/mcollective/index.html

Check out these screencasts of MCollective in action http://docs.puppetlabs.com/mcollective/screencasts.html

The demo demonstrates how an admin can manage multiple servers hosted on EC2.

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/control using a standard set of tools.

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?
