Future of Satellite
Hello all,
I have seen this mentioned in several other places (puppet users) but not here.
As cobbler is integrated with Satellite I think this is of interest to the
people subscribed to this list. At the 2011 RedHat summit there was a
presentation at about the future of Satellite[1].
There is a pdf of the slides of the presentation[2]. Of interest to cobbler
users is the new provisioning engine: The Foreman (pg 39). Interestingly v5 of
the pdf described The Foreman as "cobbler on steroids" and that item has been
removed from v7.
Some obvious questions:
1) Will the next major version of Satellite support both cobbler and foreman?
2) Will there be any tools to help users of cobbler migrate to foreman?
As a happy and grateful user of cobbler I have noticed that the cobbler project
is not as active as it used to be. Is it time for me to move on?
