Hot Deployment & App repository

[Kynao]

Hot deployment of templated bare-metal : based on pre-established bare-metal configurations (or "templates" if your prefer), setup to deployment automation of as much as wanted bare-metal ready to boot from the network. These configurations concern the bare-metal themselves but also the configured image appliances they are supposed to host for a given goal.

Appstore like : taking advantage of third party software for deploying new functionnalities either on the platform (the bare-metal itself) or through image appliances.

Do you mean to use something like cobbler for ON-base installation + additional script for downloading/deploying required templates?

[Kynao]

I don't know Cobbler but seems to be an excellent example, could not have found a better one as it represent well the hard fraction of the submitted idea

Well, Cobbler is an install server, and as we are currently using fedora func as an agent - and cobbler integrates well with that - it seems like a nice fit.

We have it actually working internally, will publish some documentation on that soon.

Hi,

Is there any news on this ?

Cobbler based OpenNode Network Installation Server exists (PXE) - but is delivered to customers only under commercial support for now.
