Deployment Orchestrator of Puppet via MCollective

For the provisionning, Astute orchestrator collects data about nodes and creates corresponding Cobbler systems using parameters specified in engine section of provision data. After the systems are created, it connects to Cobbler engine and reboots nodes according to the power management parameters of the node. For the deployment, Astute uses data about nodes and recalculates needed parameters. Calculated parameters are passed to the nodes being deployed by using the nailyfact MCollective agent, that uploads these attributes to the /etc/astute.yaml file of the node. Then puppet parses this file using Facter plugin and uploads these facts into puppet. These facts are used during catalog compilation phase by puppet. Finally catalog is executed and Astute orchestrator passes to the next node in deployment sequence. Fuel Library provides puppet modules for Astute.
