I've setup dynamic environments using git but I'm confused about how environments are actually supposed to be used. We're a small ISP and have freeradius servers, VPN servers and web servers. I've been using environments to enable me as the sysadmin to build and test new manifests/modules before deploying them to our production servers. I have dedicated staging servers, one for each role (web,vpn,aaa), that are configured with the 'staging' environment. My workflow involves developing locally (with a local puppetmaster), pushing commits on the staging branch and then QA on the staging servers and then merging the staging branch into production and pushing to deploy it.
However, our web development team have now requested their own staging/production environments for the web applications they are building. I then thought that perhaps these servers should be modelled using environments. Then I thought 'but these are application testing environments running in a production environment so they should have nothing to do with puppet environments'. I've managed to confuse myself, any help untangling my confusion would be greatly appreciated, thank you! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
