Repo management

[jeffsmith82]

I'm looking for a way to manage repo's across multiple machines.

I would like the ability to add multiple repos to machines automatically. I'm looking to add elastic searches https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic ... t/rpm.html and maybe nginx's along with the usual base and updates ones.

I can write a puppet module to do this but is there an official way of doing this either ansible or spacewalk or some other method ?

Puppet has yumrepo built in.

I was wondering if there is a better way of doing this with one of the official Red hat tools.

Well, ansible is an official Red Hat tool now.

It sounds like you won't be "managing" multiple repos - so if your need is to just provision them once at deploy time, you might do it using the post section of the kickstart file (if that's how you provision new environments).

But if you're already using puppet to manage your systems then deploying ansible to do it in parallel seems like a strange move...

Yes, this wasn't a suggestion to use Puppet and Ansible in parallel.
