Hi Calvin, We want continuous 7x24x365 test with no changes unless physically applied by one or more authorized people only.
As far as I can tell, the way to do this is: puppet agent --test --verbose --noop on the node and puppet apply whatever.pp on the node itself, with full logging back to the puppet master... I don't believe the above fulfill all that. We want the minimum footprint on the remote boxes (i.e. no mcollective, etc.) and want to avoid ssh'ing all around the universe, instead depending on the command-and-control (and reporting) which Puppet implements.
