When using the genome-bootstrap wizard the user will be asked a series of questions. The answers are used as parameters for configuring Genome machines. These parameters live server side and are accessible via Genomed
The nice thing about these parameters is that they can be used anywhere a normal variable can be used in Puppet manifests and templates. Some values are client specific such as:
What cobbler server a node looks to for dependencies
What machines a particular apache will proxy
What server should be considered its upstream git repo
Often you will want to change a parameter post bootstrap. This is usually because you want to point your machine at a different Puppetmaster or Cobbler server. For help on this process see the cookbook.
