Puppet agent on vmware ESXi

[Angel L. Mateo]

Hello,

I've been using puppet (OSE) for a long time. Now I would like to run
puppet agent on my vmware ESXi servers. On this platform there is no
puppet package and I haven't found the way to install it (although I
have found puppet modules to configure them).

Is there any documentation about installing agent on this platform?

There is no agent that can run on ESXi. It may look like Linux, but it isn’t, so there’s no native client.

There are some VMware modules on the forge that may be of interest. If you want to manage the hosts, as opposed to some sort of cloud provisioned, then you should probably look at Host Profiles, PowerCLI, PyVMOMI, and other vSphere APIs. Hope that helps.
