Foreman with Puppet for Linux / Windows for DevOps

Using  Foreman you will be able to install and manage Linux on multiple servers at the same time by single click. Foreman is an open source project that helps system administrators manage servers throughout their lifecycle, from provisioning and configuration to orchestration and monitoring.  Using Puppet and Foreman’s smart proxy architecture, you can easily automate repetitive tasks, quickly deploy applications, and proactively manage change, both on-premise with VMs and bare-metal or in the cloud. Foreman is deployed in many organizations, managing from 10s to 10,000s of servers.

Using Foreman you can:

• Discover, provision and upgrade your entire OS infrastructure.

• Create and manage instances across private and public clouds.

• Group your hosts and manage them in bulk, regardless of location.

• Review historical changes for auditing or troubleshooting.

• Extend as needed via a robust plugin architecture.

• Automatically build images (on each platform) per system definition to optimize deployment.

The following operating systems are known to install successfully from Foreman:

Red hat Enterprise Linux,  CentOS, Fedora, Ubuntu,  Debian,  Solaris, OpenSUSE, SLES, Oracle Linux, CoreOS, FreeBSD.

Foreman can provision on bare metal as well as the following cloud providers:
