Hi All,
In our environment, we use the $::environment variable extensively to
determine if the host should have one set of mounts (e.g. production)
or a different set of mounts (e.g. qa). This is just one example, but
there are many others where the $::environment variable comes into play.
The problem is that I have a number of puppet changes that I want to
test before merging into the production tree, so I've created a
staging environment.... however, given the importance of the
$::environment variable throughout the manifests, this won't work
I think the only way to get around this problem is to copy
$::environment to $::my_environment or some such, and then change all
the references to use $::my_environment. Then you could have a selective
case in 'staging' where it forcefully sets $my_environment to either
'prod' or 'qa' in your case.
Any suggestions? I'd like to point a number of production nodes at a
secondary puppet server using --noop to see what would change, but
then I run into SSL issues. Would be great if I could use puppet over
cleartext http for this test, but I'm not sure if that's possible.
If you set up a second Puppet Master and synchronise the CA and all the
signed certificates from your primary to your "slave" Master, it should
work. I would forcefully turn certificate signing off on your "slave" in
puppet.conf. Dan Bode wrote a great article ages ago about multi-master
Puppet which you might want to reference: http://bodepd.com/wordpress/?p=7
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
Gonzalo
