Greetings, I'm just getting started with setting up Puppet in an environment of about ~15 servers, a mixture of Mac OS X servers and Ubuntu servers - each with different roles and obviously different versions of configs.
Before I get too carried away, I was hoping to get advice on the "rule of thumb" about different versions of configs. Most of the documentation and examples I've seen seem to be geared more towards "roles" of a set of nodes, such as "http nodes, dns nodes" etc. What hasn't been too clear to me is a smaller scale environment where there aren't multiple nodes sharing the same job. Say I have an application installed on two of my servers and obviously, each server has its own version of the config files for that. What is the "best practice" to manage that? Do I define a class for "server1" with each thing I want to manage, and point to a specific file (e.g. puppet://puppet/files/server1/config.cfg .../ server2/config.cfg ...etc)? Any nudge in the right direction is greatly appreciated! Thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
