perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Trey Dockendorf <>]

Now that 3.4 is here I thought I'd begin the dialog regarding automation with those who wish to use configuration management on their perfsonar instances.

For deployment my site uses Foreman [1].  Other tools like Cobbler would likely work too but I have no experience with other tools.

I updated a Gist [2] that contains the stock kickstart from 3.4 NetInstall as well as my exact Foreman templates used to provision my hosts.  I have not yet provisioned the 3.4 hosts , but plan to shortly.

For those looking to manage yum-cron and that utilize Puppet, I wrote a yum-cron Puppet module [3] that may be of use.

Has anyone done any automation specific to PerfSONAR?  The only automation specific to PerfSONAR I have written is a module to manage the internet2 repos [4], which is likely in need of updating.
