I'm looking for some tool to work as a Comand and Control of several remote nodes.
The idea is to have many-many nodes of Virtual Machines running on every ASN voluntarily to deploy some services spread everywhere we can.
Something like a Call-Home, that allows the headquarter to track operation, health state, deploy commands. (Re-reading this phrase, it could sound like a newbie hacker trying to create his own Mirai. haha... It's not the case... I'm not on the dark side of the force.)
I was thinking in use something like reverse ssh and ansible. But I thought that I'm probably reinventing part of the wheel.
I want to believe that there already some projects that would put-me some steps further on this project.
Could anyone give-me some-tip?
Saltstack and Puppet typically fill this niche, although some folks have used Chef in a similar fashion. I usually advocate Saltstack for this. Broad offering with CM, orchestration, C&C control bus, and more available. Ansible scales (in fleet management as well as codebase complexity) quite poorly, so don't waste time on that. Contact me off-list if you want to chat more about this. -J
