Foreman 1.8.2 發布，數據中心生命周期管理工具

Foreman是一個集成的數據中心生命周期管理工具,提供了服務開通,配置管理以及報告 功能,和Puppet Dahboard一樣,Foreman也是一個Ruby on Rails程序.Foreman和 Dashboard不同的地方是在于,Foreman更多的關注服務開通和管理數據中心的能力,例如和引導工具,PXE啟動服務器,DHCP服務器及服務 器開通工具進行集成.

Foreman 機器統一管理平臺

• Foreman可以與Puppet集成使用,通常是作為puppet的前端接入.

• Foreman takes care of provisioning until the point puppet is running, allowing Puppet to do what it does best.(太難翻了 -_-!!)

• Foreman能夠通過Facter組件顯示系統目錄信息,并且可以從Puppet主機報表中提供實時信息

• Foreman能夠準備你管理新機器的所有工作.它的設計目標是能夠自動化的完成所有手工管理的工作,通過Foreman可以重新配置機器.

• Foreman能夠管理大規模(當然也包括小規模)的,企業級的的網絡,可能有很多域,子網和很多puppet master節點.Foreman也可以實現配置版本的回溯.
