Configuration Management
Configuration Management is becoming a topic at work.
We already have a Puppet environment setup by several of our Linux admins (who have all since left!). It's being given to me to support and manage.
We are also going to be looking at an Ansible environment, coming in as part of a project to host servers for a Research group. There are on going discussions about upgrading from the Open Source version of Ansible to an instance of Ansible Tower. I need to do more reading on the differences between these two products.
Current Technologies used for Configuration Management
The goal for setting up an Enterprise Configuration Management environment is to improve the efficiency of new server requests in an Open Stack environment we are going to be "testing". By "testing" I believe it is a subscription environment, and we are going to try it for a while and see if it fits the needs that have been identified by our engineering team.
