reasons:

  • cobbler has failed in the past (single point of failure)
  • cobbler is great at pxeboot and kickstart management
  • cannot terraform adding management roles

Why use consul?

  • consul is highly available
  • can terraform consul kv
  • consul is fast
  • consul api is easier to work with (python modules for example)

Plan? None really.

  • Store hostname, mgmt_class and a params hash in json format.
  • Create a script that can read these values and produce an enc-formatted-yaml output.

Streach goals:

  • manage consul roles/policies from terraform
  • generate consul tokens from Vault
