I've been thinking about this, too. It would be great if users who are creating a new puppet-centric infrastructure can start by creating a puppet master node with the puppetmaster + new modules package. The modules package could contain pre-written modules for common services that define and take care of installation, configuration, management, etc. If done correctly, the entire environment could be in-place and waiting before any additional systems are booted. Another option would be to have additional puppet-* or puppetmasterd-module-* packages, each containing a module for a specific service or need. Initially it felt like Puppet was still so new that it was difficult to find defined best-practices, but with the publication of the Puppet Style Guide ( http://www.puppetlabs.com/blog/a-question-of-style/ ) it seems it wouldn't be too hard to develop and ship manifests and modules that meet the standards. --- Adam Gandelman -- ubuntu-server mailing list ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
