I usually explain that Puppet environments are not related to Platform stages, but to Puppet code quality.

You can make use of the naming convention and write a custom fact which will parse the servername and set a fact to be used in hiera. > > The puppet code for the servers typically has a common part and an > environment specific part. > > Anyone have a good layout that would allow arranging the server definitions > in a puppet friendly way? Have you looked into roles and profiles? This is a standard way to classify nodes (business use case role) and to specify applications and configurations by using implementation profiles. hth, Martin > > I was kind of thinking that the layout would be: > > modules/<group_name>/<application_name>/init.pp (for common parts) > modules/<group_name>/<application_name>/<env>.pp (for environment parts, > requiring common parts) > > And then the node class would just include > <group_name>::<appliation_name>::<env> > > Anyone have a better method? > > > -- > 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 puppet-users+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/puppet-users/d915bcdc-7ea0-434e-890b-4f3b08b0cc2d%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.
