Ask HN: Any interest in chef/puppet hosting?

10 点作者 coderforhire大约 12 年前
My biggest strength technically is chef/puppet, automation, and configuration management. I have a 9-5, focusing solely on puppet/automation etc, but my real goal is self employment. The market for someone in this area is fairly lucrative, but most of the job opps are either W-2's or 6-12 month contracts, at least in my experience (am I wrong in this?). Are there any products anyone in the HN community would like to see/use having to do with config mgmt? Is there a need for chef/puppet server hosting? I was considering a site with the basic premise:<p>1. migrates a user from heroku to a cloud provider of their choice (amazon or rackspace to start)<p>2. sets them up a git repo, that includes all the default code that set the machine up (passenger installation, postgres etc); they can customize that code, push to git, and it will automatically apply the updates of the code.<p>3. allows them to utilize chef or puppet to manage their machines, and offers consulting services, the dashboard would also allow 1-click deployment of various stacks, spin up machines etc<p>4. 5-10$/mo per server?<p>feel free to contact me anthony@coderindustries.com

I've had a similar idea in the past. Not to sure how to monetize it. This would work for generic stacks provisioning but the real power of chef/puppet/saltstack is configuration management. Maybe offer base boxes at $5-10 one time fee or maintained and custom boxes for additional monthly fee. Like I said I've given this lots of thought, and would be interesting in talking about this idea further if you are interested in building something together.

I think you should monetize your knowledge and package it in the form of videos, ebooks, and consulting.

As someone who is just about to launch a startup, and hoping to do as much with puppet as I can, would you be willing to provide part time "free" consultancy in return for sweat equity?

How could you possibly manage security? Wouldn't this require you to have root on these systems?
