I'm learning puppet and read the docs. My understanding is that
classes are for generic services (singleton, need only once) while
definitions are for repetitive calls (like functions). My question is
say setting up a web server and ask the conf to listen to only a
specific IP. Which should I use?
class apache {
file { "httpd.conf": content => template('mywebserver.conf.erb') }
}
Usage:
$web_ip = "192.168.2.100"
include apache
or this?
define fnApache($web_ip) {
file { "httpd.conf": content => template('mywebserver.conf.erb') }
}
Usage: fnApache { "config-httpd": web_ip => '192.168.2.100' }
For me, the definition method is clearer (you see/know it is passing
the param).
Thanks
