Hi Everyone,
I need some assistance with connecting a foreman interface version 1.10.4,
installed via katello, using the smart proxy service to a puppet enterprise
v2015.2.2.
I should start by asking: Is it possible to have foreman manage classes
and environments, allowing puppet enterprise to act as if it were the
master puppet interconnection? I have found several pieces of documentation
that point to this being possible, but no fool proof how-to to accomplish
it.
*Current environment: *We have over 600+ servers that utilize katello for
their repository management. The same 600+ servers have an enterprise
version of puppet setup for configuration management. The katello agent was
not utilized for the repository management piece as the systems already
have a puppet agent running, pointed to the enterprise environment.
*Problem: *While each environment allows us to manage pieces of the
individual server, we cannot do erratas, logs, monitoring, updates, and
provisioning management on them through the foreman interface.
End result: Complete integration between puppet enterprise and
foreman(katello) as a 'single pane of glass' interface for managing all
provisioning and maintenance.
What I have found so far:
