Hi all,
I am new in puppet world so please excuse my lack of knowledge ...
I am going to use puppet to manage our hosts but because my lack of
knowledge whether I deploy configuration changes the right way
I would like to deploy them first on some hosts, then wait a few days, then
on another group of hosts, wait a few days etc.
So it would be good to group all nodes into groups - something like
(pseudo-code):
group pre-testing {
host02.domain
host-other.domain
<... 10 other hosts ...>
}
group testing {
host115.domain
host-other-10.domain
<... 50 other hosts ...>
}
group pre-production {
host-spare.domain
<... 35 other hosts ...>
}
group production {
host-main.domain
<... 135 other hosts ...>
}
and then apply the change on just "pre-testing", wait a few days,
apply on
just "testing", wait a few days and then apply on
"pre-production" etc.
(sort of deployment in stages).
I am not able to group nodes based on application running on it nor
hardware architecture - the environment is mixed
so I need to put this particular node to this particular group etc
How would you organise that approach in puppet ?
Thanks in advanced

Re: [Puppet Users] Grouping hosts for stage deployment
Hi, You probably want to look at implementing a simple deployment pipeline using Puppet environments and Git branches.

Thanks for the link - it seems interesting :-) But in general: how do you guys cope with big infrastructure and especially control the impact a human error made on large number of nodes ? What is you experience in this topic ?

Hi Nathan, I have read the this URL but one thing concerns me: what if each environment consists different servers (as it should be) ? How to deal with it using git ?
