Reductive Labs released version 0.25.0 of Puppet recently, there are some teething problems but I got most of it sorted out by upgrading Mongrel.
Today I decided to upgrade 60 of my nodes and they’ve slowly been running in a for loop all day, the results on machines with many file resources are staggering.
One node that uses snippets heavily has 450 file resources and used to take a while to run, here’s some before and after stats:
Finished catalog run in 235.63 seconds
Finished catalog run in 231.43 seconds
Finished catalog run in 42.74 seconds
Finished catalog run in 32.14 seconds
Very impressed.
