Cobbler is a Linux installation server that allows for rapid setup of network installation environments. It glues together and automates many associated Linux tasks so you do not have to hop between many various commands and applications when deploying new systems, and, in some cases, changing existing ones. Cobbler can help with provisioning, managing DNS and DHCP, package updates, power management, configuration management orchestration, and much more. Automation is the key to speed, consistency and repeatability. These properties are critical to managing infrastructure, whether it is comprised of a few servers or a few thousand servers. Cobbler helps by automating the process of provisioning servers from bare metal, or when deploying virtual machines onto various hypervisors. Just as configuration management systems rely on templates to simplify updates, so too does Cobbler.
