Re: [Puppet Users] Re: Puppet, inventory, and single sources of truth.

(Copying my response to the other branch of this thread). I want to store data about what's *supposed* to be true about our systems, not what is *actually* true. i.e. "host X is supposed to be up and in subnet Y", even if it's never actually been turned on. On Mon, Oct 27, 2014 at 08:47:14AM -0
