betadots Puppet Demo Control Repo

This is a demo Puppet control-repo, where we show best practices on Puppet coding and data structures

Node classification

Node classification is done via hiera.

There are two hiera keys which are important:

• windows_classes_hash
• linux_classes_hash

Depending on the node Kernel fact, we run a lookup function from manifests/site.pp.

Each hash consists of an unique identifier and a puppet class.

---
linux_classes_hash:
  'time': 'profile::time::linux'

windows_classes_hash:
  'time': 'winntp'

winntp::servers:
  - 'time.nist.gov'
  - 'pool.ntp.org'

profile::time::linux::servers:
  - 'ntp.ptb.de'

Hiera configuration

In hiera we use trusted variables and fact variables to identify the hiera layers.

Puppet Modules

Puppet modules are listed in Puppetfile. Some modules might be outdated.
