Can I do this with foreman?

Hi,

I am in the process of evaluating different tools for automating deployment
process. My requirement is this

  1. Launch instances in openstack on requests
  2. Do configurations, copy files, execute servers in those instances
  3. Monitor those openstack instances for instance physical data, JMX
    monitoring (monitor memory…etc).
  4. Should be able to do all above things programmatically (using an API)

This is the abstract of the project. Is Foreman fit with above
requirements. Appreciate your advise on this.

  1. Yes
  2. Partially, you can configure how the instances are, with some limits,
    but access to them is not provided by Foreman. You can use Puppet to
    configure that and Mcollective for the remote execution.
  3. You can monitor stuff related with the configuration changes in the
    machine, not real-time storage use/processing power/memory, etc…
  4. Yes
