Managing Large Debian Repositories with Pulp
Pulp is a free, open-source platform for software repository management. You can fetch, upload, and distribute content from various sources. Repository versioning makes sure that nothing is lost as you can always roll back to previous versions. The pulp_deb plugin adds APT repository support.
Configuring Hosts using Ansible
You can use Ansible to configure managed hosts within orcharhino. For our up-to-date documentation, see Configuring Hosts using Ansible.
Ansible is an automation engine and configuration management tool. It works without client and daemon and solely relies on Python and SSH. Ansible consists of a control node, for example a notebook, a workstation, or a server and managed nodes, that is the hosts in its inventory. You can use Ansible to configure hosts similar to Puppet and Salt.
Installing OpenShift through Foreman
If you understand how to install CoreOS, you can also install OpenShift 4. You can provision CoreOS hosts using Foreman. In his talk at the Config Management Camp 2023, Jan explained how to do so, what obstacles there are, and how to use this solution to deploy an OpenShift cluster.
Live Patching & Foreman—how it fits together
Apply patches and critical updates to your Linux kernel without rebooting your system, maximize uptime, and perform critical security updates and major bug fixes: in his talk, Bernhard presented how to combine and use this technology with Foreman.
