Table of Contents

  1. Overview - What is the frontier module?

Overview

This module is intended to be used to install and configure Frontier services. The Frontier distributed database caching system distributes data from data sources to many clients around the world. The name comes from "N Tier" where N is any number and Tiers are layers of locations of distribution. The protocol is http-based and uses a RESTful architecture which is excellent for caching and scales well. The Frontier system uses the standard web caching tool squid to cache the http objects at every site. It is ideal for applications where there are large numbers of widely distributed clients that read basically the same data at close to the same time, in much the same way that popular websites are read by many clients.

Parameters

The following parameters are supported:

  • customize_file: the customization configuration file to be used, not used if unset
  • customize_template: the customization configuration template to be used, not used if unset
  • cache_dir: the cache directory to use
  • max_access_log: The max size of the log before rotating them
  • install_resource: set this to true if you want to instal the pacemaker FrontierSquid resource
  • resource_path: the path where to install the pacemaker resource, default "/usr/lib/ocf/resource.d/lcg"
  • $customize_params : hash that can be used to provide the customize_lines param with ... params.
  • $customize_lines : array, containing lines that will be interpreted as inline templates and will be used to fill the default customize.sh Usage

Example

This is a simple example to configure a frontier squid.

Using the frontier squid module

class { 'frontier::squid':
    customize_file => 'puppet:///modules/mymodule/customize.sh',
    cache_dir      => 'var/squid/cache'
}
