Overview

This is a special puppet module for assigning roles to boxes.

Module Description

Each node should get exactly one role assigned to it. The role classes contained in this module do nothing except include profile classes. A profile class will be from the profiles module and is where org-specific data lookups occur and then that data is passed into component modules as parameters.

I was there and it was lovely.

Setup

What roles affects

• This module sets up role classes to be assigned to your nodes
• You should be able to read a role like a book and have a good idea of what technologies are defined on that particular node and what it does

Beginning with roles

This module is intended to be a template module for roles. As your configuration needs will no doubt need to change at some point, clone this repo into your own git project, then modify it as you wish and add it to your Puppetfile and deploy it.

Usage

This is a very basic and special module and therefore there are no parameters or special usage instructions. Simply assign a role class to your external node classifier for a particular system and it will include that role class. That's it.

Limitations

This is a generic module and has no specific limitations as only includes are done
