This post follows my previous one, dealing with the reuse of chef providers of chef in mcollective. In the comments Adam Jacob had an interesting word and when I wrote my second agent, to manage package I saw it would be a piece of cake to write a really generic agent, due to the nature of chef resource (and the way to invoke them)

It has been quite calm for a couple of months here. I have switched job, it explains why I had less time to post some things.I now work at fotolia, and I switched from puppet to chef (no troll intended, I still think puppet is a great tool, please read this).

I already blogged about my experiments with mcollective & xen but I had something a little bigger in my mind. A friend had sent me a video showing some vmware neat features (DRS mainly) with VMs migrating through hypervisors automatically.

Another cool project I keep an eye on for some weeks is “the marionette collective“, aka mcollective. This project is leaded & develloped by R.I. Pienaar, one of the most active people in the puppet world too.
