      Number of clients: 10k+
      OSs: macos, ios, windows, android (not so much for ios and Android)
      Geography: worldwide
      Availability requirements: High, LB
      Server Platform: AWS, Azure
      Reason: for where other MDM solutions fall short, SaltStack would be supplemental, automation via API

      I'm mostly just running this in my head for now to see if it's worth all the pieces. It quite possibly might be, so it isn't for nothing. Awareness is already there.

      What would an ideal setup like this entail?

      On the API side, it wouldn't be busy. So, Rest_cherrypy?

      Ha and LB? Multimaster with the LBing in AWS and/or Azure? Any native LBing?

      How many minions per master to maintain decency?

      Other considerations?

        Before they just run off and get naked?

          That makes as much sense as anything else.

              Is the whole thing a bad idea?

                  If you put some oomph behind the VM, do you really need LB?

                  The biggest bottleneck I see would actually be bandwidth to shuffle stuff around to the remote clients...

                  If they start getting naked, make sure you activate cameras to preserve the evidence.

                    You might, but you could put a LOT of oomph behind it 🙂

                      Even with tens of thousands, not too likely.
