Puppet users - Mar 2010 - Running on EC2 without a puppetmaster?

Hi all,

I''m setting up a buzzword-compliant auto-scaling thing on EC2, and I
have something I''d like some more opinion on.  Namely, I am going to
be making my own AMI (getting the app set up takes ~20 mins
otherwise), and it seems perfectly workable to store the entire config
in /etc/puppet and just running puppet on the manifest--no puppetd, no
puppetmaster, just a git pull to get any recent changes and run once
at boot.  This works fine, of course, but I lose the ability to push
changes to the nodes without touching them manually.

I''m wondering if anyone else has run this sort of setup, and if so, if
you preferred it or came to regret it?

Thanks,
Ben

We are doing something similar.  We have a "wrapper" script that tries
to
rsync down the latest version of /etc/puppet, then runs puppet in a loop
until it exits 0 or runs 10 times.  So far, so good.
