Hey Folks,

I am looking at using puppet to help manage/coordinate system integration
among several teams collaborating on an appliance product. This is a
little different than other environments where I've used puppet for
managing large numbers of systems. In the appliance case, we need to
build & manage only a single system so a puppetmaster becomes extra baggage
that is not really needed - what features will not work without one tho?
Will erb templates still work? Will modules also function without a
puppet master?

i'm wondering if anyone has already shared their experiences with the group
using puppet in this kind of mode. If so, please share and I will
summarize.

Thanks,

Vince

Hi,

Using puppet in standalone mode with puppet apply from a cronjob will
work without problems. The only thing that will be missing are exported
resources. But you won't need those if this is a single machine.

Well, I think there would be a couple more things missing than that. Reporting and the HTTP API spring to mind. Still, these are things that don't make much sense in a single-machine context anyway. Certainly all the bread & butter features will still work: modules, functions, templates, relationships, classes, all native and defined-type resources, hiera. I think even node blocks work, though they don't necessarily make sense in single-machine mode.
