CFEngine3 Node

Webhuis facilitates and encourages attendees to The CFEngine Roadshow to configure a blank VM of choice.

Pre requisities

Create a blank Virtual Machine

Please have your bare Virtual Machine ready before you take part in The CFEngine Roadshow. Please install a bare machine and make it as lean as possible. You even do not need to install ssh.
We assume a KVM VM. Good descriptions for are avaiable here virt-install

Naming convention

We use a naming convention in order to determine the role of a node*.

Role	Mnemonic
apt_cacher	apt
ips_server	ips
nfs_server	nfs
webapp_server	webapp

• Check this before you use the node, the mnemonics may change.
  

Use the last four octets of your Mac Address after the mnemonic as a unique identifier.

You can always check the CFEngine code that manages the role of the server here:
