Hi Philip, open source puppet 3.x documentation seems to have stopped updating in favour of PE documentation as per puppet support. that project is not handled by me any longer, my colleagues have gone with foreman, it's bootstrapping and scaling is very flexible, it is already a distributed architecture using lightweight smart proxies, and have all the components maintained and documented better. also provides an escape from vendor lock, you can use saltstack, Chef, and even there are ansible scripts on the net floating around. not to mention we get the extra patching/life cycle management workflow, openscap auditing, among other complementary features out of the box. and an awesome foreman community over irc/mailing list, and if you need commercial support you can go with Red Hat Satellite 6 which will add the content management feature "Katello" to your workflow.
