RE: [Puppet Users] RE: enterprise puppet architecture

Your Puppet master has twice the CPU of ours; but more importantly, you have far simpler manifests. Ours are very complex, and can take 20seconds on average to build - some taking a minute for the whole process to finish. We're going to completely redesign our setup, as per the instructionsin t

It says bug 12572 is fixed in 2.7.11, but this is not the case. It seems the released RPM packages for RHEL6 (both binary and source RPM) do not contain the real fix here at https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/commit/411828be395a68d70fec634fa8d8ff12572e8501. I still see the old code .. On Wed,

Where you call the class you mention nodes_data, and inside the class it's node_data. Unless this is not a one-to-one copy-paste that might be your problem? On Wed, Feb 22, 2012 at 15:21, M. Piscaer wrote: > Hi, > > I have an problem that I can't get resolved. I have an hash like > www.krzywans
