Out of curiosity, which part of puppet is causing this load? If it''s
the puppetmaster, well then, that shouldn''t be a big problem.
I''d
recommend a dedicated puppetmaster in most setups anyway. Or when
puppet is actually applying a whole manifest instead of just checking
if things are set correctly? I''ve looked at our trending and I
don''t
see any noticeable additional load on the machines, at least. Unless
of course I''m rebuilding the entire server. But I don''t care
about
puppet load at such times. A little nuance for us non-subscribers to
Usenix would be welcome :)
