I'm looking at ways to better automate our build pipeline and I'm trying to 
envision ways to get our latest code package onto servers, while also being 
able to update this package at specific, later times. 

The code will be served from a local yum repository, so I figure we can 
install the latest version on new systems using an "ensure => present" in a 
package resource, and then push out updates from our bamboo server via 
mcollective. I understand that it's possible to install packages directly 
using mcollective via a plugin such as this one: 
https://github.com/puppetlabs/mcollective-package-agent. What I also am led 
to believe is that if I use the "ensure => present" in the package 
resource, that puppet will not make any attempts (after the initial 
install) to upgrade to a newer version of the package.

Does this seem like a valid way to get our code onto servers, ensuring that 
puppet won't run arbitrary upgrades at some random later point?

Thanks,
Guy
