Dear foreman users, I've recently joined foreman users group.
Previously (4 years ago) i use to manage spacewalk - which was doing its job well for 2k+ nodes - but i'd experience issues time to time with stability + scalability. Also - postgres db left alot to be desired and seemed a bit messy. This was 4 years ago - and i'm guessing alot has changed since then - but it also seems like Spacewalk is on maintenance mode and RedHat moved on to Foreman/Katello? I'm now tasked with new patching/management solution for linux - and i'm exploring foreman as one of the alternatives. I'm curious how far foreman can scale and what services might be the bottlenecks. Can i scale the bottleneck services? My use case varies - but it will probably be 100k nodes in a year - and upto 500k nodes in few years. It would be ideal if i can run foreman on kubernets with persistent storage - is that a possibility? With that said - what challenges have you experienced in large scale? what services are usual suspects and what can be done to mitigate it? I'm guessing there arent too many solutions that work well in that scale - so i'm open to splitting it up in smaller environments based on business groups. I'd then create an aggregator and routing engine - if need be. Thank you -ilya -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Foreman users" group.
