This module utilizes Hiera hierarchies to customize Puppet configuration for all three commands:

• puppet apply
• puppet agent
• puppet cert
• puppet lookup
• ...etc

Configures Puppet 4/5+ agent, user tools, etc.

• Manages the Puppet yum repositories (if desired)
• Upgrades the puppet-agent package (if desired)
• Performs single-option configuration changes allowing local customizations to remain
• Strives to demonstrate Puppet best practices.

• Yumrepo
  • Puppet package repository
• Packages
  • Puppet package
• Configuration Files
  • /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/puppet.conf

Requires the puppet-agent package to be installed. (catch-22 yes I know)
