I can't seem to find a sane way of running storeconfigs on the new AWS 
server environment I'm working on.


   - SQLite is not an option. It becomes unusable far too quickly.
   - Using a mysql adapter doesn't seem to work properly.
      - I quickly run into bug 
#9290<http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/9290>again and again. Which after 2 
years STILL hasn't been fixed.
      - The top of 
this<http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/1/wiki/using_stored_configuration>seems
 to imply that these ActiveRecord storeconfigs adapters are being 
      deprecated.
   - The recommendation seems to be to use PuppetDB however from the looks 
   of it, I can't even use PuppetDB.
      - I'm not going to use the embedded DB and fall right back into the 
      trap with SQLite again.
      - PuppetDB only appears to support PostgreSQL and does not support 
      MySQL.
      - I already have a MySQL database in AWS' RDS I would like to use. 
      And RDS does not support PostgreSQL.
      - And I am NOT going to go right back to going and installing a 
      separate database server on the local node. That kind of thing has given 
me 
      problem after problem.
   
Please tell me I'm missing something and there's a way I can get this to 
work in this AWS environment. Cause otherwise the idea of puppet running 
any type of server at all – rather than simply working as a local 
filesystem `puppet apply` – looks so unreliable (as I've also had some 
issues with the puppetmaster) that I should just dump every bit of 
server/client software puppetlabs has and write my own custom way of 
distributing configs and data.
