Hello,
I'm new to puppet and puppet module writing and kindly request your help.
My understanding of proper puppet
module practices is still young.
Being tasked to write a puppet module for a utility that configures
interfaces on a cumulus switch.
there are 3 main types of interfaces
- physical
- bridge
- bond
Each of these 3 types of interfaces have their own set of parameters but
are ultimately configured on the
system in the same way. So I definitely want to reuse as much code as
possible.
So the thinking is to define the user interface something like this:
cumulus_iface::interface { 'eth1'
# physical int attributes
}
cumulus_iface::bridge { 'br0'
# bridge int attributes
}
cumulus_iface::bond { 'bond0'
# bond int attributes
}
My question is how to implement this, if this structure is okay.
My thought is as follows, create a cumulus_iface custom type that has a
'ifaceattrs' parameter. this is where all the code can be reused across all
interface types. This parameter
accepts a hash. Provider will be 'ruby'.
Then create 3 defined types, 'interface', 'bridge', 'bond' under the
cumulus_iface module manifest directory structure, each providing their own
specific set of parameters.
These defined types will take their parameters and combine it into a
single hash and input it to the 'ifaceattrs' parameter of the cumulus_iface
custom type.
For example:
cumulus_iface::interface {'eth1'
speed => 1000
ipv4 => '10.1.1.1/24'
}
would in turn be inputted into cumulus_iface custom type as
cumulus_iface { 'eth1'
ifaceattrs => { :speed => 1000, :ipv4 => '10.1.1.1/24' }
}
Can this work? Does this make sense? Thanks for your help!
