Puppet evangelists mention its usage in Google. I had a chance to clarify that with an engineer employed by Google who told me that they use Puppet indeed, but only for certain MacBooks and they tend to get rid of it. It is known that Puppet's server easily grows beyond 1Gb in memory once the number of managed entities exceeds 20 or 30, so it hardly can be called robust. Distributed installations of Puppet usually fire off its policy server and use svn or other repository tool to get updates which are then processed by its client. While the approach itself isn't bad, it adds an extra component to the scheme at least. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
