Go and teach yourself lots of stuff or attend a training or make use of the self paced training program at learn.puppet.com Search for talks on upgrading to Puppet 4 (there have been plenty ones during the past 15 months). > Just wanted to ask around if anybody has got experience with such an upgrade. > Reading the docs it says that skipping major versions isn't recommended, so I > guess I'd have to first upgrade to 3.x? Are there anymore upgrade docs for > 2.7 to 3.x available? In general: upgrade master first, then the agents. You can skip some minor versions. I am unsure whether you really can skip all. Read the existing Puppet code and get yourself an idea on what is deprecated. In your project: I would not go for upgrading from MySQL/Apache-Passenger. I would target a complete setup from scratch and migrate system via system. This will allow you to build good Puppet 4 code from scratch and to not deal with old broken code which will make yourself banging your head against a wall. hth, Martin > > Many thanks, > Chris > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Puppet Users" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/puppet-users/92886404-4a00-45c6-92ef-eb336f5f1211%40googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
