Here, I would be using ec2-{ api, ami }-tools to script actions on EC2 and basically do a typical handbook install. 2) Docker is an open source tool to easily create lightweight and self sufficient containers. I would like to enhance the puppet-docker support to spawn containers with the help of Puppet which is an automation tool for system administration. Currently, this<https://github.com/garethr/garethr-docker> has support for Ubuntu and RedHat distributions, so I would like to add Gentoo support into it. 3) Jenkins CI is a very popular monitoring tool, and as it isn't there in the portage tree I would like to write ebuilds for it and become a proxy maintainer for future support. 4) I am also looking forward to add binary package support for commonly used packages by cloud users (like nginx, mysql, mongodb etc) as they don't have much CPU to do on system compiling. Also, this can be improvised as, writing Puppet class which can help in sharing packages (portage_binhost) built once across all your systems (compiling once and using it everywhere). Need to put in more thoughts to this part! > Please provide your feedback. > > Thanking you in anticipation. > > Regards, > Proneet Verma > (irc: proneet @freenode) > [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/html, Size: 2981 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

The godin overlay contains ebuilds for jenkins-bin packages and is actively maintained, in case you are not aware of that. Kind regards, Hans ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
