I have hundreds of systems built off a single image, and we use autosigning 
to do it. Puppet 3.4.0 introduced policy based 
autosigning<http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/3/reference/ssl_autosign.html#policy-based-autosigning>.
 
Our image has a file which contains extra information to add to the 
certificate signing request. One of these bits of information is a secret 
key. The puppet CA server then has a script which authorizes autosigning 
any requests which contain a valid secret key.
