[Puppet Users] Deploying puppet with puppet, best practices
Our shop is newly adopting puppet. Our number of nodes is growing and my installation method is thus far manual and tedious. This will change when/if we migrate to Puppet Enterprise. My question is what's a best practice for managing puppet installations on client nodes? Is it possible to separate out the client portion of the install from the server or is that now fully integrated? The puppet.conf file could be templated for distribution. Thanks for any tips, etc. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group. To post to this group, send email to puppet-users@googlegroups.com.

We use cobbler for client installs and that works well for our centos servers, foreman can handle more distributions. As for installing the client software itself, we use a custom RPM package that is installed at build time or anytime after. We are still building out our manifests so we are tackling one service at a time on each node type.
