custom facts will always be data generated on the client and submitted to the master - which might not be safe to trust for important decisions as you might send credentials to the client based on that data. An ENC could provide any data you like - but you'll need to create an own one. Another possibility might be http://jerakia.io/ by Craig Dunn. which was created to integrate different data sources. But more data sources == more external dependencies. But none of these will run your puppet agents in correct order. > > Bolt has me curious.

I think bolt is still in its early stages. - Thomas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
