Control Repo

This repository is a template control-repo that can be used with r10k as part of my sample Foreman / Puppet / PuppetDB setup.

The major points are:

• An environment.conf that correctly implements:
  • A site directory for roles, profiles, and any custom modules for your organization.
  • A config_version script.
• Provided config_version scripts to output the commit of code that your agent just applied.
• Basic example of roles/profiles code.
• hieradata directory with common.yaml and nodes directory.
