Func consists of two parts. Certmaster, which is the mechanism for implementing the PKI encrypted communication between master and minion. The second part of the install is the func command and API system. The install on my little test infrastructure was fairly straightforward in nature.
On all machines involved we need to install the func package, (works on FC7 and above, NOARCH). Since we know CDOT has DNS host files established for our environment with only 3 machines we simply add the machines to the /etc/hosts file. the three machines are names, certmaster, certminion1 and certminion2 respectively.
By default func ships with a wide variety of modules that can be utilized straight out of the box to execute commands on your system for a list of these pre-included module see https://fedorahosted.org/func/wiki/ModulesList. As well as being extended to add support for the execution of programs written in python, or bash.
