Jira (PDB-523) Dedupe of exported resources

However, what would be much much easier would be to create your own function for this kind of collection that does the desired task of querying the PDB API, removing duplicates and creating the resources (see create_resources function in puppet core for code on how to do this). So my proposal for this feature is actually to create a function to achieve this. This function should initially be just a Puppet module, not part of our core so the concept of use-cases can be proven before we go about changing the language functionality or PDB itself. So right now ... I believe this could be created by a community member (or any dev really, if they have the time) and hosted on the forge, we could certainly point at it on our community plugin page.

They should still be stored per node so that they are reviewable on the API but when they are collected, it would be good if any IDENTICAL resources (name and attributes) could be consolidated. My use case for this is in scenarios where I have a load balancer (h...
