Some more information about details on what you are managing would be helpful here. One open bug for instance is about updating Puppet to batch yum transactions, which can speed up run time. If you are seeing very long runs on the client, that can be a factor. On the server side, there are various things you might want to do, such as selectively updating certain servers at a time (i.e. using puppetrun) or setting up different schedules for different machines so they don't hit all at once (such as using cron). We're also working to reduce server load via cached catalogs and so forth, though it ultimately does depend a bit about how much you are managing per server. --Michael > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Puppet Users" group. > To post to this group, send email to puppet-us...@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > puppet-users+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users?hl=en. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
