@your service! The Config Management Camp 2023 Ghent organisers Full proposal content: Title: To Kea or not to Kea Abstract: Do I need a commercial product to support, like ISC-KEA, in order to provide an integrated DHCP-DDNS solution, including reverse lookups? Description: Serving names is a hot topic within organisations and when not carried out to perfection, problems arise. In this process we relate MAC addresses, IP addresses and hostnames. So, if ever a machine comes to live, it has a name, a MAC address and an optional IP address. This is a process we like to automate in order to prevent issues, like providing: - an address from a pool by a DHCP server - registering the MAC address, hostname and IP address in the DHCP servers' backend - Dynamically update the Domain Name System, for hostname and reverse lookups Kea is a product, by a company of fame, designed to integrate existing systems and it has the ability to administer the above. It is a commercial product, though, and you have to buy licences in order to obtain the full advantages of the product. Is this the only way to go, or do we have an alternative available? CFEngine, like we know comes with a theoretical model, Promise Theory. Promise Theory is defined as a "model of voluntary cooperation between individual, autonomous actors or agents who publish their intentions to one another in the form of promises." In this talk I demonstrate the fulfillment of: providing: - an address from a pool by a DHCP server - registering the MAC address, hostname and IP address in the DHCP servers' backend - Dynamically update the Domain Name System by a simple set of CFEngine policies. These policies interact with a DHCP service and a DDNS service registering the agent to the DHCP service and the DDNS service for A and PTR records Notes: This is a live demonstration.
