Foreman是一个集成的数据中心生命周期管理工具,提供了服务开通,配置管理以及报告 功能,和Puppet Dahboard一样,Foreman也是一个Ruby on Rails程序.Foreman和 Dashboard不同的地方是在于,Foreman更多的关注服务开通和管理数据中心的能力,例如和引导工具,PXE启动服务器,DHCP服务器及服务 器开通工具进行集成.
Foreman 机器统一管理平台
Foreman可以与Puppet集成使用,通常是作为puppet的前端接入.
Foreman takes care of provisioning until the point puppet is running, allowing Puppet to do what it does best.(太难翻了 -_-!!)
Foreman能够通过Facter组件显示系统目录信息,并且可以从Puppet主机报表中提供实时信息
Foreman能够准备你管理新机器的所有工作.它的设计目标是能够自动化的完成所有手工管理的工作,通过Foreman可以重新配置机器.
Foreman能够管理大规模(当然也包括小规模)的,企业级的的网络,可能有很多域,子网和很多puppet master节点.Foreman也可以实现配置版本的回溯.
