Puppet Modules
constructing a module putting modules together designing good modules
constructing a module
our mission # TODO: Turn this pattern into a puppet
module file { "/etc/init/collect-cpu-stats.conf": content => template("etc/init/collect-cpu-stats.conf.erb") } file { "/etc/init.d/collect-cpu-stats": ensure => "/lib/init/upstart-job", } remotefile { "/usr/local/bin/collect-cpu-stats": mode => 755, notify => Service["collect-cpu-stats"], } service { collect-cpu-stats: ensure => running, require => [ File["/usr/local/bin/collect-cpu-stats"], File["/etc/init/collect-cpu-stats.conf"], File["/etc/init.d/collect-cpu-stats"], ] }
a place for everything... $ tree puppet/modules/collect_cpu_stats collect_cpu_stats # module
root dir ├── files # static files ├── lib │ ├── facter # custom facts │ └── puppet │ ├── parser │ │ └── functions # custom parser functions │ └── type # native puppet types ├── manifests │ └── init.pp # *** entry point *** └── templates # template files
...and everything in its place $ tree puppet/modules/collect_cpu_stats collect_cpu_stats ├──
files │ └── collect-cpu-stats ├── manifests │ ├── config.pp │ ├── init.pp │ ├── script.pp │ └── service.pp └── templates └── collect-cpu-stats.conf.erb
the classic init.pp class collect_cpu_stats { include collect_cpu_stats::package include collect_cpu_stats::config
include collect_cpu_stats::service Class['collect_cpu_stats::package'] -> Class['collect_cpu_stats::config'] -> Class['collect_cpu_stats::service'] -> Class['collect_cpu_stats'] } manifests/init.pp
adding parameters class collect_cpu_stats ( $hostname = $fqdn $interval =
10 ) { include collect_cpu_stats::package class { 'collect_cpu_stats::config' hostname => $hostname, interval => $interval } include collect_cpu_stats::service Class['collect_cpu_stats::package'] -> Class['collect_cpu_stats::config'] -> Class['collect_cpu_stats::service'] -> Class['collect_cpu_stats'] } manifests/init.pp
customize names for clarity class collect_cpu_stats ( $hostname = $fqdn
$interval = 10 ) { include collect_cpu_stats::script class { 'collect_cpu_stats::config' hostname => $hostname, interval => $interval } include collect_cpu_stats::service Class['collect_cpu_stats::script'] -> Class['collect_cpu_stats::config'] -> Class['collect_cpu_stats::service'] -> Class['collect_cpu_stats'] } manifests/init.pp
script.pp: sourcing files class collect_cpu_stats::script { file { '/usr/local/bin/collect-cpu-stats': mode
=> 755, source => 'puppet:///modules/collect_cpu_stats/collect-cpu-stats' } file { '/etc/init.d/collect-cpu-stats': ensure => link, target => '/lib/init/upstart-job' } } manifests/script.pp
config.pp: using templates class collect_cpu_stats::config ( $hostname, $interval ) {
file { '/etc/init/collect-cpu-stats.conf': content => template('collect_cpu_stats/collect-cpu-stats.conf.erb'), notify => Class['collect_cpu_stats::service'] } } manifests/config.pp
service.pp: simple as it gets class collect_cpu_stats::service { service {
'collect-cpu-stats': ensure => running, } } manifests/service.pp
ta da! $ tree puppet/modules/collect_cpu_stats collect_cpu_stats ├── files │ └──
collect-cpu-stats ├── manifests │ ├── config.pp │ ├── init.pp │ ├── script.pp │ └── service.pp └── templates └── collect-cpu-stats.conf.erb
designing good modules
it’s just unix philosophy Rule of Modularity Rule of Clarity
Rule of Composition Rule of Separation ... etc.
unix philosophy in puppet “do one thing well” require/notify classes,
not types design for composability pull configuration up to init.pp intentional interface design
use the puppet style guide one class/define per file one
parameter per line quoting, spacing, etc. when in doubt, check it!
putting modules together
None
types of puppet modules “base-blocks”: generic to the world “weird-blocks”:
specific to us “site-services”: assemble blocks “site-roles”: assemble services
