I just got back from PuppetConf last week and several presenters mentioned
using more than one Git repo with Puppet. Some even recommend having a
repo per module. For our initial Puppet deployment this seems a bit
excessive. My plan was to have three repos for each of our environments
(Dev, QA and Production). The contents of these repos would contain Puppet
Enterprise directory of /etc/puppetlabs/puppet.
Deployment strategy
- Upload changes to Dev repo
- Deploy Dev changes to Dev master
- Test
- Merge Dev changes to QA repo
- Rinse and repeat
Thoughts? Any tips for a Puppet and Git newbie in regards to file
hierarchy, Git repo strategies, etc.
Thank you in advance,
Tom
