Yep, totally possible. The puppet master daemon is platform-agnostic and uses the information sent from the agent (via `facter`) to know how to compile the catalog. So if your ubuntu agents check in, the master daemon makes ubuntu catalogs. If your centos agents (including the master managing itself) checks in, then it will have different facts and thus a different catalog.
Modules are commonly written to handle the different package & service names across platforms as well as different kinds of configuration defaults (eg, https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-ntp/blob/master/manifests/params.pp#L42-L78) and can be run from any master (even AIX masters serving windows agents if a module is written to support windows :P). -Hunter On Mon, Jul 14, 2014 at 2:43 AM, Nevzat erçolak <nvz...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, I am using puppetmaster on centos 6.5.
