Puppet Control-Repo to the Next Level
summary
A concrete Puppet control-repo layout is presented including a Puppetfile for vendoring public modules, Hiera v5 hierarchies organized by node/role/environment, and a profiles/roles pattern that includes only specific classes. The workflow shows local testing using multiple Vagrant environments, lightweight Docker agents and a module to exercise services in containers, remote commands via Fabric, and automated promotion with GitLab CI pipelines that run puppet-lint, unit tests and catalog diffs then push changes to testing and canary nodes.
