This one is funny too: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-ntp/blob/master/templates/ntp.conf.epp > And, on the other hand - all this complexity to manage a NTP? And that's for something that for a given environment never change, have no options. So dropping a standard file that is hand made once in a lifetime is enough for the vast majority of people. That's why I don't use standard or references modules. I can do in 10 lines written in 10 minutes what they did in 100 written in many days. I don't care that they don't run on some exotic plate from that I never heard of or are not good for stratum 1 servers. They are tailored for my need, that's enough for me. They never brake, never warn, works almost unchanged from puppet 2.7 time and it take me the same amount of time that it would have taken to download, understand and check them. > > 2) Something like search function in chef instead of exported resources and > puppetdb Puppetdb is very nice and useful, but perhaps a simple and custom query langage would be easier to use than strange json query. > > 3) Simpler and more integrated orchestration - mcollective is over-engineered > and learning curve is almost vertical uphill battle. I don' agree with this, it does nice thing and you can use it without going deep into it. If you have very special needs, a tool like rundeck might be very helpful. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
