Life at Widemile Build a new server cap -S recipe=vmware -S host=vmware06 -S hostname=quot;syslog01.prod.widemile.comquot; -S network=prod build 1. Capistrano recipe (ruby) 2. Builds a vmware vmx config file including virtual network interfaces (erb) 3. Creates virtual disk 4. Grabs generated MAC address, feeds it to the tftp server. 5. Starts VM 6. VM PXE boots, installs debian automatically (preseed) 7. Grabs IP address from DHCP logs so you know where to ssh in 10 minutes

Life at Widemile Puppify cap -S recipe=debian_client -S client=syslog01 -S master=prod-ops01 build 1. Capistrano recipe (ruby) 2. Configures sources.list and bits needed to get the truck rolling 3. Installs puppet/facter/icagent (iClassify) 4. Generates and signs puppet keys 5. Runs puppet
