Icinga2 Satellite as a Container
summary
A container-based Icinga2 satellite is packaged as a VMware OVA running Photon OS, built by an Ansible pipeline and stored in a content library; configuration and build artifacts live in Git and containers (Docker Compose) are pulled at boot by rc.local/start.sh. The appliance also hosts a mirrored Icinga for Windows repo served through a reverse proxy on port 5665 for Baramundi deployments. Deployed satellites monitor ~4,100 hosts (41,000 services), spin up in ~5 minutes, and deliberately skip HA.
