This is the opencrowbar-build-tools package for OpenCrowbar.
OpenCrowbar is a second-generation DevOps tool that enables deployment of bare servers
into a production ready cluster in a matter of hours. OpenCrowbar can deploy any software
stack, but has been initially developed to deploy Hadoop and OpenStack.
OpenCrowbar is able to prepare server hardware, firmware, and hardware-based controllers
to create a known-state hardware platform that is ready to receive the installation of
an operating system, application-specific software, pre-configure the application-specific
platform so it is ready to deploy a clustered workload to compute and/or storage nodes.
OpenCrowbar provides server discovery, firmware updates, and operating system installation
using PXE boot or virtual instance deployment. OpenCrowbar deploys applications on top of
hardware-provisioned operating system platforms using Jigs. Supported Jigs includes:
Chef, Puppet, and SSH-based shell scripting.
