Support for the Entire Portfolio
The Cisco UCS management framework is policy and model driven.
It supports the entire Cisco UCS portfolio: Cisco UCS blade and
rack servers, Cisco UCS Mini, Cisco HyperFlex™ hyperconverged
infrastructure, and Cisco UCS C3260 composable infrastructure.
Integral to Cisco UCS management are service profiles, which provide
identity for the infrastructure. The infrastructure elements are stateless,
and the network, storage, and server profiles create the identity for each
of these elements through Cisco UCS Manager. Cisco UCS, with its
combination of model driven architecture and service profiles, enables
safe, fast automation.
The Puppet Razor module provides a robust set of programmatic
interfaces for provisioning, including fine control of the target OS (Red
Hat Linux, Microsoft Windows, etc.) and the target workload (the
server’s role). Cisco UCS service profiles enable flexible definition of
the intended server role, which is passed automatically to Razor. Razor
transparently integrates with Puppet Enterprise, and provisioned nodes
are immediately brought under management.
Benefits Throughout the Infrastructure Lifecycle
•
Day 0: Configuration and server role assignment with Cisco UCS
service profiles
-
The Cisco UCS Manager TPM in combination with the Razor
node tagging and policy enforcement features provides increased
security.
-
For additional customization and automation, you can use the Cisco
UCS
on GitHub, which includes a comprehensive set
of
.
•
Day 1: Rapid provisioning with Puppet Razor
•
Day 2 and beyond: Management and monitoring with Puppet Enterprise
-
Puppet Enterprise can install and manage all aspects of a target
workload with information passed from Cisco UCS service profiles.
This feature allows immediate definition of a target OS and
workload, which are automatically provisioned and brought into the
desired state.
-
Puppet Enterprise’s robust set of modules support a wide range
of managed and monitored workloads across all major OS, virtual
machine, and containerized environments.
