Puppet users - May 2012 - Specifying Puppet Modules For EC2 Instances

Currently I am using ec2-run-instances to deploy Ubuntu instances to
EC2. I am also calling a user-data-file to install puppet and make
sure puppet registeres with the right puppetmaster, that is all
working great, the default puppet modules are applied...

However, is there a way from the node in the user-data-file to
actually specify which "other" or application specific modules
I''d
like to apply to my instance? Or do I have to wait for the node to
build then define it in my nodes.pp file?

I recommend reading Mathias Gug''s blog posts about Puppet support for
UEC/EC2 in Ubuntu images, as it describes in detail the process you''re
working through.

http://ubuntumathiaz.wordpress.com/2010/04/07/using-puppet-in-uecec2-node-classification-4/

Specifically, it covers using a Python script to launch an instance,
creating and storing the instance''s SSL certificate and node
definitions in an S3 bucket, automating signing of the SSL
certificate, and using another Python script as a node classifier to
retrieve the node''s definition from the S3 bucket.
