Hi folks,
I would like to submit the following talk for consideration for the
Configuration and Systems Management DevRoom.
A few notes for context: The Matahari project is a Free Software
project, licensed under the GPL and developed in the open. Matahari's
sysconfig agent (one of the core agents) supports system configuration
using Puppet, but Matahari is about much more than system configuration.
Title: Systems Management with Matahari
Speaker: Zane Bitter
(Senior Software Engineer at Red Hat and one of the current Matahari
project maintainers)
In this talk I will introduce the Matahari project
(
http://matahariproject.org/), an interface for system management APIs
of all kinds. I will discuss the architecture of the Matahari ecosystem
and how the use of AMQP as a transport layer allows it to scale to large
collections of servers in the Cloud. I will also describe the ways in
which developers and sysadmins can get involved in the Matahari
ecosystem: by creating agents to provide access to existing APIs through
Matahari; by creating their own APIs; by writing their own clients to
interact with agents; and by interacting through a command line shell or
script.
Please let me know if I can provide any more information/clarification.
thanks,
Zane.
