Schedules go great with exported resources. My use case is getting applied changes on machines A-N because of a resource change on machine M, which may be exporting only. Using Sshkey as an example a new machine would cause a thousand other machines in its environment to update on their next run. Then, on the new machines second run it updates for its own key. In a busy environment that would pretty much ensure every run on every host applied changes, which I dont like to see. My other example, as people have noted, is to respect maintenance windows. I can think of httpd virtual hosts, DNS updates, & monitoring system updates that could be affected by schedules. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
