Wikimedia Labs/Puppet learning mode
Appearance
Note: looks like something like this already exists, called Blueprint
Write application that will record actions as puppet configuration while setting up services manually.
- Watch apt log, and make configuration for each action:
- apt-get install:
package { "<packagename>": ensure => latest; }
- apt-get (purge|remove):
package { "<packagename>": ensure => absent; }
- apt-key add:
apt::key { "<keyname>": apt_key => "<keyname>" }
- apt-key delete:
apt::key { "<keyname>": apt_key => "<keyname>", ensure => absent }
- Watch for file edits via editor logs, and copy files and make configuration:
- On edit/copy:
file { "<file-location>": content => template("<file>"), owner => <file-owner>, group => <file-group>, mode => <file-mode>; }
- On chmod/chown/chgrp, make or modify configuration
- When exiting learning mode, inspect the firewall rules and make configuration
- Have a logger, to document your steps as you go. The messages should be output in MediaWiki format:
- log heading "Configuring OpenStack"
- log number-list --begin
- log "Install packages"
- log heading "..."
- log number-list --end
- ...
- Application should keep configuration in an intermediate state, and should output when asked.
