24 hours of Puppet Drama

Over the past couple of days I’ve been fighting with a weird puppet problem , we eventually cracked it , but I promised a bunch of you to fully explain it here ;)

So we were deploying 2 Blade chassis at a pretty remote location with a mix of phyisical and virtual machines, some 48 instances in total. This is a pretty standard rollout, we’ve got a bunch of similar platforms in our lab , so we knew about a couple of glitches, what to expect etc.
