Divingbell

Introduction

Divingbell is a lightweight solution for:

1. Bare metal configuration management for a few very targeted use cases via the following modules:

• apparmor
• ethtool
• exec (run arbitrary scripts)
• system limits
• mounts
• permissions (perm)
• sysctl values
• basic user account management (uamlite)

2. Bare metal package manager orchestration using apt module

What problems does it solve?

The needs identified for Divingbell were:

1. To plug gaps in day 1 tools (e.g., Drydock) for node configuration
2. To provide a day 2 solution for managing these configurations going forward
3. [Future] To provide a day 2 solution for system level host patching
