FAQ
For folks with multiple Puppet Masters, how are you pushing out
manifest and module updates to them?

We intend to use Subversion for our version control. Obviously one
option would be to have each Puppet Master perform a checkout of the
svn repo. We could schedule periodic updates via cron. Or we could use
a post-commit hook to rsync the updates out from the repo to each
Puppet Master.

What are you doing? What works well, and what headaches have you experienced?

Thanks,
Scott

    I use a combination of git and puppet itself to push to productions, but
    git for dev/qa puppet masters. Puppet Pro has nice examples of git with
    environments but here is a link also.

    Many people I talk to prefer postcommit hooks to do this work. We had an
    on-site engagement where we wrote an MCollective agent that would do all
    the heavy Git lifting, and the postcommit would call the MCollective agent.
    This also let you quickly move your Masters to different commits as-needed
    (so long as you had privileges to access the message queue with
    MCollective).

    Our SVN repo box is shared with some other projects so I haven't
    implemented a post-commit hook at this point. We used to have Puppet
    perform the checkouts, but since a commit may break Puppet's ability to
    run it didn't seem like the best way. For now we're doing it via
    MCollective.

    Yes, actually each of my masters has its own SVN-URL checked out with the appropriate configuration. A cron job is doing updates in 5 minute intervals. Quite easy and works very reliable.

    We use puppet and a module called vcsdeploy to deploy our modules to the
    puppet masters using a puppet run on the puppetmaster. We insist that all
    modules are tagged and so our nodes file fotr the puppetmaster node looks
    like this: -

    node 'puppetmaster' {

    # ONLY DEPLOY tagged versions to TEST!!!
    Vcsdeploy {
    source =>
    'http://svnserver.practicalclouds.com/repos/puppet/modules/%%NAME%%/tags/%%VERSION%%',
    path => '/etc/puppet/environments/test/modules/%%NAME%%',
    provider => 'svn',
    user => 'user',
    pass => '######',
    templates => 'off',
    }
    vcsdeploy { 'centrify':
    version => '1.7',
    }
    vcsdeploy { 'wamps_repository':
    version => '1.1',
    }
    vcsdeploy { 'weblogic':
    version => '4.5',
    }
    vcsdeploy { 'motd':
    version => '1.0',
    }
    vcsdeploy { 'ntp_client':
    version => '1.0',
    }

    You can find out more about vcsdeploy either on the puppet
    forge http://forge.puppetlabs.com/pclouds/vcsdeploy or
    here http://www.practicalclouds.com/content/guide/pclouds-vcsdeploy-deploy-stuff
