Description
Marionette Collective, also known as MCollective, is a framework for building server orchestration, monitoring, and parallel job execution.
MCollective uses a modern "Publish Subscribe Middleware" for a scalable and fast execution environment.
It is a powerful tool in combination with Puppet, due to the good integration.
However it can be a challenging task to configure and deploy MCollective in a reliable and secure way.
In this talk, we will give an overview of our DESY MCollective setup, the design decisions, intended use and encountered problems.
