Right now all our different environments (test/stage/prod) are being served by the same puppet master. We have tried some things that tend to break puppet which obviously is not good on a production machine. I have been tasked to match our puppet environment with the enterprise environment. I proposed to do the following and would like to know if I am missing any fundamental steps:
OS - Puppet master, RHEL 6; clients, RHEL5/6 - All patched weekly Puppet master and clients Currently puppet 2.7.13 - Installed/updated from puppet repo Version Control - SVN Although puppet files are under version control, I like to back up anyway. I am guessing/hoping that since nothing will call the environmental manifests that we can create our other 2 environments without disturbing our current configuration so I would create /etc/puppet/test and /etc/puppet/stage directories and likely copy the current environment into each as a starting point. (or would the duplicate class names be an issue?) Remove the nodes that are not relevant to the specific environments and make sure that all the manifests include the environments in any absolute paths. Edit /etc/puppet/puppet.conf to accommodate the environments by adding: [master] modulepath = $confdir/environments/$environment/modules:$confdir/modules manifest = $confdir/manifests/unknown_environment.pp [production] manifest = $confdir/manifests/site.pp [stage] manifest = $confdir/manifests/site.pp [test] manifest = $confdir/manifests/site.pp Finally, copy the current modules/manifests in to /etc/puppet/production and restart puppetmaster This is a high level task list, I am just making sure that I am not missing anything important at this point...
