If your yum repositories are configured to point at the generic URLs
for your CentOS major version (and Puppet can ensure that), then you
could put this in your manifests to keep all installed packages up to
date:
exec { 'update-all-packages':
command => '/usr/bin/yum update'
}
Really, however, performing a singular action such as an operating
system update is not what Puppet is designed to do. Any way you try
to do it with Puppet has its problems, including the above Exec. This
sort of job more appropriate for MCollective or a similar tool.
