Manage VMs
We need to be able to deploy new VMs using Puppet, in order to:
- make VM deployment more agile than it currently is, and
- pave the way for automatic environment creation.
Some things to take care of:
-
Declaration through Hiera -
Network configuration -
OS installation (via image or automated debootstrap) -
Choose which of the below will be tackled and when.
Not for now:
- Partition/device tuning
- Fail/timeout when virt-install fails/timesout
- Name resolution (eg. using
dnsmasq) - Automatic inclusion in Puppet
- Public IP assignement
- DRBD
- Use huge pages for memory allocation
- Libvirt storage pools
