Hi Pavel, We implemented something similar to what you are asking on our own servers using commonly available tools: * pssh - cluster ssh tools * cron/etc on puppetmaster + puppetrun - our sysadmins or the puppetmaster itself determines when puppet configuration runs should be performed. * modified agent configs to be active on clients, but not to execute unless they receive a request directly from puppetmaster (no interval based runs) * NFSv4 to clients from puppet master
We implemented the above because puppet's default method of execution is OK for binary based distributions, but not really for source based linux distributions. Using a "run only when puppet master tells us to" allows us to update source repositories on the master, and then have the master execute the necessary code on the clients to update before forcing a puppet update. In general, this means puppet only runs about once/week for most nodes. We add some additional bash/ruby code to create groups of nodes to update.
