I had started converting my node manifests to external nodes (in yaml format), to make them machine readable/writable, so that we could write scripts to parse them. However, I really can't get it right in my head that by doing that I am forced to pass parameters to classes by setting a series of variables in the node. It just doesn't seem right to me. It's a lot less readable than using a definition which at least indicates some sort of intent on what the variables are for and how they are used.
Am I the only person in the universe who thinks this? The only alternative I can see is the extlookup() function, which at least lets me use definitions in my node manifests, and therefore keeps the intent and is more readable, while at the same time storing machine parseable data in an external file. Do I have any other options? Doug. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
