I was kind of wondering about that, when I saw it earlier. It appears that maybe the cloudstack_resources module has become out of date? I think you are the preparer of a slide-show I was following here: http://www.slideshare.net/PuppetLabs/cloudstack-18489665
It seems like in those slides, Group was being used to hold the roles? This is why I assumed that was OK. I was doing something like case $::role { 'db': { notify {"detected a fact named role with value db" :} } } because I thought that the custom fact here: https://github.com/jasonhancock/puppet-facts/blob/master/cloudstack_userdata.rb Turned the cloudstack userdata into a fact where if you had "role=db,foo=bar" you would get two custom facts, role and foo, with their respective values. May I ask for some clarity if that is not the intended usage? In my case, obviously cloudstack_userdata is not generating the correct facts, because the wget that is in that code returns nothing because userdata is empty.
