We find it frequently useful to be able to set variables from within puppet to communicate information from one module or class to another, or to save state across puppet runs. It also makes cloud management and bootstrapping easier to be able to specify classes/variables from a command line script being used to spin up nodes.
Also, going forward, it would be very helpful for the API to be an equal citizen of the GUI. IE: There shouldn't really be anything that you can do via the GUI, that you can't do programmatically. This will also allow for the creation of CLI based tools that can interact with Puppet Dashboard, which is rather important to us. Please let me know if you have any further questions. -Brian On Wed, Mar 2, 2011 at 7:28 PM, James Turnbull <ja...@puppetlabs.com> wrote: > Brian Gupta wrote: > > Randall, sorry for the offtopic response, but our team needs a "write" > > API before RBAC.
