Dear Shridhar,
I want set specified network setting and root password to each new machines. My script get setting over HTTP JSON request and get setting from master machine.
create the appliance such that
1. it gets on network via dhcp, no name supplied 2. on first boot, contacts a central server to register itself 3. has pre-configured ssh keys in root account for certain external accounts 4. on registration, it triggers a bot, that ssh's into the new machine and customize the setting 5. reboot
Should work no? I am pretty sure there are some automation frameworks like salt/puppet already handle this?
real question is what does pxe boot/network install gives you that an appliance doesn't. Whats the distinguishing factor between two such VM instances, how do you set and discover it? -- Regards Shridhar
