Furthermore the puppetlabs documentation mentions that an agent's node name is "almost always read from its cert name setting"[1]. The cert name is set to fully qualified domain name of the agent at the install time.
We define nodes as "php", "mysql" etc. Where does the conversion from the domain name "*872389473.deployment1.php.someorg.org <http://872389473.deployment1.php.someorg.org>" *to node name "php" occur? If it is on the puppet master is stratos dependant on the way puppet operates?
