Puppet users - Jul 2012 - why enterprise puppet does not use stored config and puppetdb

I just installed PE, and notice that it does not use either stored
config nor puppetdb. It uses the activerecord to store facts in a
mysql db.

Why puppetlabs let us to use these but they do not use them in their
enterprise version?


Thanks.

Probably because PuppetDB is still under development *and* many third party
applications don''t yet fully support stored configs being stored in
PuppetDB.  Currently, MySQL or PostgreSQL are still the most widely supported
configurations for stored configs.  This is just speculation on my part, but
it''s informed speculation based on projects like The Foreman and others
which don''t yet work with it.

There are packages for PuppetDB available for PE, and its documentation
discusses the installation procedure for PE. It is currently delivered as
an add-on for PE users, should they choose to use it. It''s slated for
inclusion in the main installer in the next major PE release. But
certainly, PuppetDB is in active use at many, many sites, including our own
infrastructure at Puppet Labs.
