Announcing Razor

[James Turnbull]

Puppet Labs is really thrilled to announce, in conjunction with EMC, our
new open source bare metal provisioning tool: Razor.

Razor is next generation provisioning software that handles bare metal
hardware and virtual server provisioning with inventory discovery and
tagging, rule-based policy management, and extensible broker plugin
integration. It integrates closely with Puppet and Facter.

The full announcement and a module to install it is on the Puppet Labs
blog:

This excellent post from Nick Weaver, the EMC guy behind the original
idea, takes you through the history, background and workflow of Razor:

And finally - being open source - you can find the code at:
