Foreman Architecture¶

To aid in the management of large organizations where not all of the Foreman, puppet and host deployment components are located on a single machine an autonomous web-based distributed component has been introduced.

Smart proxies¶

A smart proxy is located on or near a machine that performs a specific function and helps foreman orchestrate the process of commissioning a new host. Placing the proxy on or near to the actual service will also help to reduce latencies in large distributed organizations. A smart proxy also support caching, which allows users to share results without overwhelming the underlying server with queries and requests.
