Integrate AutoYaST with software configuration management systems
an invention by IGonzalezSosa
Updated about 3 years ago. 2 hacker ♥️.

FATE#319830, FATE#319843 and FATE#319842 propose integration of AutoYaST with different software configuration management systems like Salt, Chef and Puppet.

During the past CSM we came up with a proof of concept and Hack Week 14 looks like the perfect scenario to develop it further.

We plan to:

  • Add support for retrieving/re-using authentication keys (done)
  • Support master-less operation (done)
  • Improve user's feedback (done)
  • Discuss about possible integration with SUMA (done)
  • Add Ansible/Chef support (currently only Salt and Puppet are supported)

Final result

  • We have a working proof of concept with support for Salt and Puppet. ** Support master-less and client/master operation ** Realtime user's feedback ** Retrieve authentication keys (support the same schemes used by AutoYaST when retrieving the profile).
  • More information is available in this blog post

Future

  • Improve error handling
  • More tests. It would be nice to have some integration tests in place.
  • Ask for feedback.

      During these two days, some things have been implemented:

      • Support for retrieving authentication keys. They can be fetched from a HTTP or a FTP server and even from a local device (like a USB stick).
      • Masterless mode should be working now (more tests are needed).

      The UI has been improved and now you can see what's the provisioning tool doing in real time.

      This module is already part of openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise distributions, so I consider it as done.
