Overview:
The Puppet Cloud Provisioner was written to make it easier to deploy and
configure instances in EC2 using Puppet.
It contains the following command line actions:
puppet node create - Launches a new Amazon EC2 instance.
puppet node install - Installs Puppet on an EC2 instance.
puppet node init - Installs Puppet on a machine instance and automatically
signs its certificates.
puppet node list - Lists deployed EC2 instances in a certain region.
puppet node terminate - Terminates running EC2 instance.
For more detailed information about the available commands, download the
module and run:
puppet help node
