Hi John, I read the blog post and although an interesting approach, I can see several shortcomings, namely: - Lack of external node classifier: how do you control/specify which node applies which modules? - Anything apart from a DVCS to do deployment (i.e. subversion) would be madness. And even with git I think it can get out of control really fast - Each node has a copy of the entire repository of modules and classes which makes it in my opinion a security risk.
I agree with the fact that puppet's SSL config/setup can be a real PITA, especially when dealing with multiple locations/domains.
