Abstract:
End of 2024, we started a journey of integrating OpenBolt into Foreman. This turned into a series of conference talks:
At the Foreman Birthday Party 2025 I gave a presentation about migrating from Puppet Enterprise to Foreman + OpenVox. At the Config Management Camp 2026 I spoke about integrating OpenBolt tasks into Foreman. This talk is part three of the series - integrating Choria as a transport protocol for scaleable remote execution and orchestration with the OpenBolt Plugin.
We will go into the details on:
- What actually is Choria?
- How do I configure this?
- Why do I want to use this awesome OpenBolt integration for all of my daily sysops tasks and platform orchestration?
- Why is this the perfect combination to Foreman and OpenVox and the missing piece for orchestration (why is it cooler than Ansible or the existing remote execution in Foreman)?
