cobbler

If you want to be a cobbler, go work at a cobbler's shop.

Dynamic inventory is also way under documented; a brief intro then two giant examples (ec2 and cobbler).

A constant churn of a technological wheel that doesn't get the cobbler anywhere other than the exact same place.

You and me both:) Ironically, even analytics companies can have cobbler's shoes syndrome.

I think a cobbler can create a beautiful shoe if he puts his heart into it.

Come one, it's not that hard to do a yum install puppet or use cobbler for provisioning and install puppet along with the OS.

As the saying goes, let the cobbler stay with his lasts (!g what's a last anyway?) edit: originally the saying ment to stay within ones competence.

Established opensource tools like Foreman and Cobbler work much better.

Maybe it was as simple as seeing cobbler available?

You can laugh all you want but: (1) This is computer science dpt, not graphic design school website, so not really a story of cobbler's children with no shoes.

I own two pairs of sneaker-y leather shoes that look like Timberlands from the 1980s, both made by a cobbler back in Italy who has since retired.

Robbie Williamson, the man at the head of the responsible division of Canonical has documented how Cobbler and Puppet were used in the early days and how experiences there lead to MaaS being developed.

I agree there's plenty of room for improvement here -- it started as a side project I threw together over a weekend and it's always had a bit of a "cobbler's children" status.

So after taking a closer look, this appears to be a PXE installation and server provisioning tool not unlike Cobbler.

Maybe someone with more familiarity can tell me how this differs from/expands on Cobbler?

There are lots of common surnames that demonstrate this - Taylor, Cooper, Cobbler, Smith, and so on.
