[Puppet Users] Best of Breed Modules?
Well, I'm getting deeper and deeper into Puppet and loving it! I'm at the point, now, that I need to start standardizing on modules and I'm wondering whether someone can share their experience. I've been on Puppet Forge and there are so many modules to choose from! How do you go about selecting? Speaking of: any recommendations for good nginx, Java, Tomcat modules?

Re: [Puppet Users] Best of Breed Modules?
Here's what I advise in training classes: 1) Start with puppetlabs/ namespace modules. 2) If you don't find a puppetlabs/ module then you have to know a little bit about the groups/individuals within the community who have a good rep for putting out quality modules and identify their namespace. I'll not favor anyone by mentioning any names here. 3) Lastly I look at the last release date and number of downloads. I want something both widely used and showing some indication of active development. If the repo has a Project URL that points to GH etc that can be a nice thing to inspect as well. The above determines which ones I'll download for further review. Hope that helps. BTW, there's a lot work going into the Forge to improve the above heuristic.
