Hi,

maybe I'm being dense, but this doesn't address the original issue, does it?

If you manage to deploy an utterly broken config, puppet won't be able
to get itself back up to speed because it cannot start anymore.

Am I missing something here?

No, you are correct. If I deploy a garbage config, it will break the puppet clients. But the benefit is that I can easily deploy a modified puppet config to many clients if we need to add extra config parameters in future.

I can mitigate the risk by carefully testing the new puppet.conf on an isolated dev machine.

Cheers,
Jonathan



Cheers,
