Issue #7788 has been updated by Kelsey Hightower.

If you want to try out the updated autoloader with support for rubygems, 
checkout my 
[autoloader_works_with_rubygems](https://github.com/kelseyhightower/puppet/tree/feature/3.0rc/autoloader_works_with_rubygems)
 branch.


### Cloud Provisioner Gem ###
As an added bonus I've created a gem for cloud provisioner: 
[puppetlabs-cloud_provisioner-1.0.4.gem](http://cloud.github.com/downloads/kelseyhightower/puppetlabs-cloud-provisioner/puppetlabs-cloud_provisioner-1.0.4.gem)

### Full Speed Ahead ###

Once you have the autoloader_works_with_rubygems branch setup, simply install 
the gem and you should be good to go:

    $ gem install puppetlabs-cloud_provisioner-1.0.4.gem
    ...
    Successfully installed fog-1.3.1
    Successfully installed guid-0.1.1
    Successfully installed puppetlabs-cloud_provisioner-1.0.4

    $ puppet help
    Usage: puppet <subcommand> [options] <action> [options]

    Available subcommands:
    ...
    node_aws          View and manage Amazon AWS EC2 nodes.

Feature #7788: Puppet should allow rubygems to deliver new functionality
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7788#change-65568

Author: R.I. Pienaar
Status: In Topic Branch Pending Review
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Nigel Kersten
Category: plug-ins
Target version: 3.0.0
Affected Puppet version: 
Keywords: rubygems autoloader
Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/873


It would be desirable to use Rubygems to install things like parser functions. 

There might be cases where you only want a function on the master, pluginsync 
would copy it everywhere and everywhere might not have the dependencies needed 
to run it.

If the autoloader considered the rubygem search path while autoloading this 
should allow gems to extend puppet.
