Thanks for the white paper it was very helpful. A few questions though, if you can answer it. With the large client base how are you setting up your puppet master(s) to hand the workload? eg. 1 puppetmaster running passenger with apache? physical12 GB memory, 4 CPUs ? careful

I am currently using passenger and puppet 0.25.5 on RHEL 5.4 I am looking to support 3000 - 4000 nodes in the up coming years. 2000 nodes in one data center 500 nodes in each of three more data centers (1500 nodes) The first use of puppet will be to allow us to fully provision a RHEL server.
