Red Hat strategy
A follow up on my recent Spacewalk post. It looks like Red Hat is really getting organized. A number of projects seem to be communicating and integrating:
- Spacewalk
- Cobbler
- Puppet(not a RH project, but it seems to have quasi-official approval)
- Func
- TheHat
- Genome
The “Genome” project looks like some kind of umbrella or glue for puppet, cobbler, and func. Cobbler now has spacewalk integration on its near-term road map, so things are already starting to come together. Looking forward to whatever “genome” becomes.
Somewhat related: I see that RedHat and Amazon’s EC2 have some sort of official relationship. I started looking at EC2 last night, and think Amazon’s done a great job of abstracting out all the messy parts of administration. I wonder how much of the RH projects mentioned above are intended to manage ec2 clouds? I would love to see some spacewalk graphs of a set of ec2 instances. Is anyone on the spacewalk team writing ec2 plugins?
