You would need to distribute the manifests to the hosts in some
way, yes, but that *can* be done automatically. If you have a
shared filesystem (NFS, Lustre, GPFS, ...), you can put your
manifests there. I do exactly that on two systems where I run
Puppet. I know some people who run 'git pull' on the manifest
repository in the cron job that runs puppet. Or you could use
rsync in your cron job.
