[Labs-l] [Ops] Slowing down puppet runs?

Sat Nov 1 18:30:10 UTC 2014

One thing that could be done is to keep a hash or version number on the
server of the current combination of repos that are responsible for puppet
runs. Whenever one of them changes, the version changes too. The clients
can check in with the server to see if they've already run the version on
the server. If not, just don't do a run. That would likely cut back on the
vast majority of all runs.
