Puppet Enterprise (pe) Administration (adm) Module

This Puppet module contains Bolt plans used to deploy and manage Puppet Enterprise infrastructure. Plans are provided to automate common lifecycle activities in order to increase velocity and reduce the possibility of human error incurred by manually performing these activities.

The peadm module is able to deploy and manage Puppet Enterprise 2019.x Standard, Large, and Extra Large architectures.

Expectations and support

The peadm module is intended to be used only by Puppet Enterprise customers actively working with and being guided by Puppet Customer Success teams—specifically, the Professional Services and Solutions Architecture teams. Puppet Enterprise customers might be advised to begin using this tool after an introduction by their Technical Account manager (TAM) to the Solutions Architecture team or during a Professional Sevices (PS) engagement where the Puppet PS team aids and intructurs in the use of the tool. Independent use is not recommended for production environments without a comprehensive understanding of the peadm module.

The peadm module is a services-led tool that is supported through Puppet Enterprise's standard and premium support.puppet.com service.

Overview

The normal usage pattern for peadm is as follows.

1. Users set up a Bolt host from which they can run peadm plans. The Bolt host can be any machine that has ssh access to all of the PE nodes.
2. Users run the peadm::install plan to bootstrap a new PE cluster. Depending on the architecture chosen, peadm may create some node groups in the classifier to set parameters on the built-in puppet_enterprise module, tuning it for large or extra large architectures.
3. Users use and operate their PE cluster as normal. The peadm module is not used again until the next upgrade.
4. When it is time to upgrade, users run the peadm::upgrade plan from their Bolt host to accelerate and aid in the upgrade process.

What peadm affects

• The peadm::install plan adds a number of custom OID trusted facts to the certificates of PE infrastructure nodes as it deploys them. These trusted facts are later used by the plans to quickly and correctly identify nodes in particular roles.
• Up to four node groups may be created to help configure puppet_enterprise class parameters for PE infrastructure roles. The most notable configuration is the designation of compilers as being either "A" or "B" nodes for availability.

What peadm does not affect

• The peadm module is not required to exist or be present outside of the point(s) in time it is used to create a new PE cluster, or upgrade an existing cluster. No new Puppet classes or other persistent content not provided out-of-box by PE itself is applied to PE infrastructure nodes by the peadm module.
• Having used the peadm module to install or to upgrade a PE cluster is not known to affect or curtail the ability to use any normal, documented PE procedures, e.g. failover to a replica, or manual upgrade of a cluster.

Requirements

• Puppet Enterprise 2019.8.1 or newer (tested with PE 2021.3)
• Bolt 3.17.0 or newer (tested with Bolt 3.17.0)
• EL 7, EL 8, Ubuntu 18.04, or Ubuntu 20.04
• Classifier Data enabled. This PE feature is enabled by default on new installs, but can be disabled by users if they remove the relevant configuration from their global hiera.yaml file. See the PE docs for more information.

2.5.0

Summary

Changes

• Require WhatsARanjit-node_manager >= 0.7.5
• Require puppetlabs-stdlib >= 6.5.0

Improvements

• Support PE 2021.0
• Handle exit code 11 from replica upgrade task gracefully. Code 11 means "PuppetDB sync in progress but not yet complete"
• Further remediate the bug fixed in 2.4.2, by ensuring that all peadm-managed node groups preserve existing data or class parameters not explicitly being managed
• Switch dependency enumeration from in-project Puppetfile to bolt-project.yaml modules setting

2.4.5

Summary

Bugfix release

Bugfixes

• Fix an issue in the convert plan incorrectly disallowing conversion of deployments newer than 2019.7.0.
• Fix a problem with the Peadm::SingleTargetSpec type alias.
• Fix peadm::puppet_runonce to correctly return a failure if the Puppet agent run had resource failures.

2.4.4

Summary

Support PE 2019.8.4 and newer 2019.8.z releases

Improvements

• Validation should Permit installing or upgrading to any PE 2019.8.z release

2.4.3

Summary

Support PE 2019.8.3

Improvements

• Support installing or upgrading to PE 2019.8.3

2.4.2

Summary

Bugfix release

Bugfixes

• Previously, on upgrade, peadm could overwrite user configuration data on the PE Master group because it overwrote the entire configuration data value. This release modifies the peadm::setup::node_manager desired state configuration to merge required configuration into any existing configuration when configuring data on the PE Master node group.

2.4.1

Summary

Bugfix release

Bugfixes

• Previously, on upgrade, peadm did not ensure that PostgreSQL servers' pe.conf file contained the critical keys that inform the installer that the system is a stand-alone database. The peadm::upgrade plan now ensures the critical keys are correct as part of the upgrade preparation.
• When upgrading a DR replica to PE 2019.8.0 or 2019.8.1, there is an installer bug that causes the upgrade to fail due to how puppetdb delete-reports performs in this configuration. This release works around the problem by bypassing puppetdb delete-reports. This workaround will be removed in future releases of peadm after the installer / puppetdb delete-reports bug is fixed.

2.4.0

Summary

Readme updates and further convert plan efficiency improvements

Features

• In the peadm::convert plan, certificates which already contain requested extensions will not be re-issued. This will accelerate the convert process, or allow re-runs of the convert process to move more quickly.

Improvements

• The README now provides more detailed information on how customers using the peadm module should go about getting support for it.

2.3.0

Summary

Add ability to resume peadm::upgrade or peadm::convert at an intermediate step, rather than requiring re-runs to perform all plan actions from the beginning.

Features

• Added begin_at_step parameter and documentation to peadm::upgrade and peadm::convert

Bugfixes

• In peadm::convert plan, stop the Puppet agent before writing the csr_attributes.yaml file, to prevent possible agent interference
• In the peadm::convert plan during finalization, run the Puppet agent on the primary server first, then the rest, to avoid the possibility of a puppetserver restart impacting Puppet agent runs on other systems.

Improvements

• In the peadm::convert plan, when no peadm_availability_group trusted fact is present to identify if compilers should be members of the A pool or B pool, check for pp_cluster being used to designate this configuration before falling back to a simple even/odd split. This is to catch systems provisioned with the old pe_xl module, which used pp_cluster to designate A/B.

2.2.1

Summary

Bugfix release

Bugfixes

• Fixed problem with internal_compiler_b_pool_address parameter name in peadm::action::configure plan

2.2.0

Summary

Reliability fixes for 2019.8.1, README updates, and simpification of the convert plan. New parameters added for internal_compiler_a_pool_address and internal_compiler_b_pool_address to configure lb addresses for each half of the compiler pool, so that this configuration does not need to be re-applied after upgrades.

Features

• Added parameters to configure compiler pool addresses for the A and B availability groups. These are used in large and extra large architectures.
• Add basic informational messages to upgrade plan output, to communicate when different stages of the upgrade begin.

Bugfixes

• Fixed GH-118, wherein a compiler would unnecessarily send duplicate work to an extra configured PuppetDB endpoint.
• Puppet infra upgrade operations now always wait until target nodes are connected before attempting an operation

Improvements

• Provide a useful overview of the module in the README so that readers can quickly gain a sense of how the module is used, what it affects, and what it does not affect.
• Eliminate configure_node_groups parameter to peadm::convert. Perform the correct action(s) automatically.

Release 2.1.1
