Unlink chef server Puppet doesn't "copy" sets of code to an agent machine. It compiles a directed acyclic graph we call the catalog and deliveries it via HTTPS as JSON. So where in chef you would register a "runlist" that copies down cookbooks, in Puppet you "classify" the machine. This is done manually with a node definition or can be programmatically accomplish via an ENC like Puppet Dashboard or Foreman. If you set up the Dashboard you can classify the new machine you just installed Puppet on using the classify action available in the puppet node face. To query what nodes have what classes you can reference your ENC or like more and more people, they grab the data live via MCollective. -- Cody Herriges Professional Service Engineer - Puppet Labs pgp key: 0x5DB77142 @ pgp.mit.edu
