Each site is functionally identical. I would like to set up a bunch of templates for the various services at each site, with a handful of variables that indicate which site the service is configured for. What would be "best practice" way to accomplish this in Puppet ? Consider : s...@abc$ facter | grep domain domain => abc.dom.ain s...@abc$ cat /etc/resolv.conf search abc.dom.ain 10.1.0.1 s...@xyz$ facter | grep domain domain => xyz.dom.ain s...@abc$ cat /etc/resolv.conf search xyz.dom.ain 10.2.0.1 Thus i would like a template "resolv.conf.erb" : search <%= site_name =>.dom.ain 10.<%= site_ip =>.0.1 I _could_ put something like this into _every_ class : $site_name = $domain ? { 'abc.dom.ain' => 'abc', 'xyz.dom.ain' => 'xyz', } # etc... That works, but frankly it's offensive in every way. There are clearly other ways to go about it, so i am curious : for Puppet, what is the best practice solution ? Thank you all for your time and consideration. Er, unless I'm missing something folks, the OP wasn't asking about managing /etc/resolv.conf - AFAICT /etc/resolv.conf was only used by the OP as an example. How to manage that file in a one-off case it wasn't the objective. So rehashing [paraphrasing mine]: what is Puppet "best practice" for setting a handful of variables in a single location that then determine the configuration of each client? I'm posting because I'm interested in the answer too...and the answers so far don't help answer it IMHO. If the answer is in the documentation somewhere [I know I haven't found it so far...], well, a link to that doc would be welcomed for my part.
