Automating the discovery of an Intel NUC machines cluster with Foreman

Foreman Discovery is a powerful tool for provisioning new hardware. The system facts discovered by Facter when the Foreman Discovery Image boots provide us with important information needed to determine how a system should be provisioned. Many of the facts we need are captured out of the box, but what happens when we need something a little more? This is where custom facts come into play.

What a great write up. This is not a widely known, yet very powerful feature of discovery. Thanks for sharing!
