Summary

• Provisionator 3000 – What is it?– It’s a hardware appliance :p– Allows push-button provisioning of VMs into vSphere

via the RESTful Provisioning API– Only allow access to a subset of the API features

• Choose from a fixed set of environments and machine roles

– Provisioned machines are cloned from VMware templates, assigned IP address, registered in DNS, bootstrapped, registered with Red Hat Satellite, and Puppetised (complete app stack).
