Issue #9657 has been updated by Nigel Kersten.

Status changed from Needs More Information to Needs Decision
Assignee changed from Nan Liu to Randall Hansen

Randall, the open questions are:

  * Should we support devices at all in puppet apply? 
    * Or should we flip it around and allow `puppet device` to operate in a 
mode like `apply` rather than `agent`? (perhaps by simply having a manifest as 
the last argument)
    * Or should we make a new Face called `device-apply` ? 
  * Should we enable automatic application of resources to remote devices 
without explicitly saying so when using `puppet apply`?
  * If we don't want automatic application, how should we name the options to 
allow application of resources to remote devices?

Feature #9657: Improve puppet apply to support network device
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/9657

Author: Nan Liu
Status: Needs Decision
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Randall Hansen
Category: 
Target version: 2.7.x
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.3
Keywords: network, device
Branch: 


After writing additional network device, it seems reasonable to support device 
in puppet apply. Currently network resources are skipped:

    debug: /Stage[main]//F5_virtualserver[www-http]: Skipping device resources 
because running on a host
    debug: /Stage[main]//F5_virtualserver[www-https]: Skipping device resources 
because running on a host

Rather than having two separate modules with slight differences (see: 
https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-f5/issues/42). It makes sense to 
ensure puppet resource and puppet apply also supports --deviceconfig option.
