Simulación de servidores de correo, DNS, DHCP mediante chef.

Abstract

This degree project, "SIMULATION OF MAIL, DNS, DHCP SERVERS THROUGH CHEF", aims to show an introduction to a new automation system such as Chef.

In the section one will show a brief on general details of the project, make an introduction such as the statement of the problem, the same way the objectives and foundations that will be developed in this project will be detailed.

Section two will show the methodology used to design this project, focused on the analysis of aspects of the Chef software, which will continue with the improvement of each objective.

In section three all the services provided by the Chef Software for an infrastructure will be presented; where Chef makes use of three service options such as Chef Server, Chef Workstation and Chef Client, which complement each other by automating the infrastructure within an organization. Subsequently, the configuration of tools necessary to start the recipes and send them to the Chef server will be executed, as well as the configurations of a communication through SSH and the exchange of private keys. This is followed by the configuration of nodes that the DNS, DHCP and mail servers will execute on themselves, ending with the results obtained based on the simulations of the specified servers.

Finally, sections four and five contain the conclusions and recommendations obtained in the development of the practice, continuing with the bibliographic references used as guides for the degree project.
