Hi I have a resource that is slow to come into service and I have other resources that are dependent on the service in order to be configured. I've been searching for the "puppet way" to do this, but all the options I've found don't seem optimal, so I'm assuming there is a better way that I'm missing.
I have several instances, so I want puppet to kick them off in parallel. And I want the reliant services to be configured as soon as possible when the slow services are ready So I don't really want to use long timeout/multiple retry because I believe that won't be executed in parallel - and anyway, it's not a retry I want, it's a wait I don't want to have Mcollective/AMQP just for this one problem, it feels like a sledgehammer to crack a nut I don't want some external process to repeatedly kick puppet repeatedly until the dependency is resolved and the reliant service can be configured I'm imagining something like a semaphore, puppet sleeps and wakes up when the semaphore is flipped (the slow resource is available) Sorry if this is a dumb question, first post etc ...
