Hi, AFAIK in generic cartridge scenario, service name is passed as user data into the instance. Then scripts inside instance set instance's host name to "someText.SERVICE_NAME". Then puppet master identifies this instance as of type SERVICE_NAME. I thought puppet master identifies instance type from the host name of the instance which puppet client may passes when talking to the master.
