Overview

This module is a base library for many of the puppet module from Enterprise Modules. It contains mostly ruby code that allows you to implement puppet types and providers with great(er) ease.

License

This is a commercially licensed module. But you can use the module on VirtualBox based development systems for FREE. When used on real systems a license is required.

You can license our modules in multiple ways. Our basic licensing model requires a subscription per node. But contact us for details.

Check the License for details.

Setup

Requirements

The easy_type module requires:

• Puppet version 3.0 or higher. Can be Puppet Enterprise or Puppet Open Source
• A valid Enterprise Modules license for usage.
• Runs on most Linux systems.
• Runs on Solaris

Installing the easy_type module

To install these modules, you can use a Puppetfile

mod 'enterprisemodules/easy_type'               ,'2.3.x'

Then use the librarian-puppet or r10K to install the software.

You can also install the software using the puppet module command:

puppet module install enterprisemodules-easy_type

Limitations

This module runs on Solaris and most Linux versions. It requires a puppet version higher than 4. The module does NOT run on windows systems.
