Hi Josh. I'm glad we had a chance to chat briefly at PuppetConf but wanted to follow-up on the list as well. As you indicated, PRFC-6 was Luke's early thinking of what we recently announced as Puppet Application Orchestration. Our approach to building this wasn't a reflection of the PRFC process as much as it was an attempt to put forward a complete thought for how we see these ideas coming together to manage applications with the full set of services provided by Puppet Enterprise. For me, it's a starting point. Shortly after the release of PE 2015.3, we'll have the Puppet release out with the language extensions behind a feature flag and plan to provide tooling by early next year. As more information becomes available and you have a chance to get your hands on the product, I hope we can discuss what's working, what's not working and develop the next iterations on these ideas through the PRFC process. Regarding the publicly inaccessible PUP tickets, I was trying to avoid early confusion before anything had hit the Puppet repo and neglected to fix the situation as I got swept up by PuppetConf. I'll clean up the project next week, after brief PTO. Sorry about that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
