Hi,
As we gradually spread puppet management to all of our systems, we've
run across a group that's managed by us, but also semi-self-managed, and
they'd set up puppet to manage some of their own software configurations
(they provide an outward facing archive service).
Is there a way to set up puppet so that it looks at multiple servers for
it's configuration?
My first guess is to say that we control /etc/puppet/puppet.conf and
point it at our servers, and that they fall back to running puppet from
cron with "--config /path/to/their/puppet.conf".
Is there a better way to handle this? i.e. can you put something in
puppet.conf that tells it to apply rules found on more than one server?
Of course we also plan on setting up some yet-to-be-designed revision
control system. So another alternative would be that when we set that
up we design it so that some modules can be edited by individuals
outside the systems group. Then we're back to one single configuration,
and not only that we can watch what other groups are doing with modules
where we've handed out permission. This may be the best solution since
it's vaporware right now. Has anyone done anything like this?
Thanks,
tom
