Shouldn't microkernel facts be generated as regular facts? #32
Comments
Keep in mind this code was written about 4 years ago; so things have changed significantly in the Facter world from what was available then. If you have a method in mind for modifying the current Microkernel Controller so that it uses a more "standard" way of extending the set of facts typically returned by Facter (allowing you to pull in external data from sources like In fact, if we took such an approach we might even have a mechanism that we could use to dynamically modify the facts that are returned to Hanlon by the Microkernel Controller on the fly. Hanlon actually is now providing a |
Sure, I certainly don't know the full history of Hanlon and its lineage. I can appreciate that the way things were written were due to the facilities of the day. I think you are starting to see the potentials that I am seeing. Giving the ability of external systems to track/modify the workflow process that a machine is processing under Hanlon. Yes, it would become very easy for cloud-config to include a number of static facts that then are provided in the facter output to be seen by Hanlon. That can then be used to decide the next microkernel image to boot or to provide basic state information between boots to support a workflow. It will take me a couple of days to find the time to convert the code and generate a PR for people to view and comment on. Probably by the end of the weekend it should be ready. |
