Thanks. Your slides are just what I needed to see. And I didn't know about librarian-puppet-simple and I'm glad I do now. Yes, dependency resolution is indeed a mixed blessing. When you say you implement both do you mean you use librarian-puppet-simple on the CI side of the pipeline and R10K on the deployment to Puppet masters side? > > R10k is great, even with a build pipeline, because the caching feature > really speeds up the build jobs over librarian-puppet, which will need > to download the git repo's each time. > It may be a documentation problem that I'm struggling with. You don't happen to know of any code or documentation that shows how to R10K in the build pipeline? By the way, Librarian-puppet does support caching via $LIBRARAN_PUPPET_TMP, which can point to a long-lived directory on the CI server. So, actually, Librarian-puppet has never been a bottleneck for me, and unnoticeable relative to the time it takes all the tests to run. > I've also used r10k to build Puppet platform as a service for large > enterprises that have many products and teams with their own distinct > environments.
