Keeping an eye on puppet (updated)
Posted by cafuego on Saturday 24 September 2011.
Having been away from home for close to two months, I was very happy that I managed to stick a lot of my system configuration in puppet before leaving.
My puppet manifests live in a git repository to which the puppetmaster automatically synchronises every 15 minutes or so. The upshot of that is that I can make a configuration change in a git repository on my netbook anywhere in the world, push that change to the master repository and have it be applied to the appropriate nodes within about half an hour. Lovely.
