- Create an external fact with key "owner" with value of your name, or your team
- tips:
- you want to create /etc/facter/facts.d/owner
- use a puppet file resource, or try using $modulepath/facts.d/owner
- Add a file "/etc/role" with choice of value of "web", "data", or "compute"
- use a puppet file resource to create the file
- Write a custom fact or code external fact to produce "role" fact
- One way of doing the custom fact, which should live in $modulepath/lib/facter/role.rb:
require 'facter'
Facter.add("role") do
setcode do
%x{cat /etc/role}.chomp
end
end
