Abstract
This paper describes a prototype implementation of a configuration system which uses automated planning techniques to compute workflows between declarative states. The resulting workflows are executed using the popular combination of ControlTier and Puppet. This al- lows the tool to be used in unattended “autonomic” situ- ations where manual workflow specification is not feasi- ble. It also ensures that critical operational constraints are maintained throughout the execution of the work- flow. We describe the background to the configuration and planning techniques, the architecture of the proto- type, and show how the system deals with several exam- ples of typical reconfiguration problems.
