1001 ways of assigning a class to a node

Marcus Poller

Overview of possibilities to assign classes to nodes

The Puppet tutorial assembles configuration aus snippets in

manifests/site.pp
node default {
include apache
}

. There are more possibilities than advertised by Puppet:

* External Node Classifier
* Roles und Profiles
* Hiera Chainloading as Array or Hash
* Puppet Enterprise Console/Foreman Host Groups

We will get a quick intro to each of them, an explanation on how to shoot yourself in the knee with these and a field report of ways that have proven to cause less pain.
