there’s some improved screens in the console for some workflows too

some platform additions

ah the auto renew

and we spend so much time to hack it into puppet 6/7! 😄

any platforms besides EL9/Ubuntu 22.04?

I think that’s it. I know there’s some work going on to better plan and communicate earlier about OS platform changes

not sure exactly when that will roll out, but soonish

is there support for ARM architecture planned in PE / where can I request that?

of course Puppet 8, which means Ruby 3 and some perf gains there

ah STS will move to Puppet 8? nice

that’s the current plan

there was some arm chatter I saw go by… 👀

and while I’m looking, Justin is looking for input about TFS use: https://puppetcommunity.slack.com/archives/C19V5U41Z/p1690393163908719

aarch64 support would be awesome. now that proper boards are available

we do a bunch of puppet trainings and I would like to bring some boards onsite and demonstrate different PE setups with failover

Looks like there’s nothing firm at the moment WRT aarch64, but interest has been registered

the cert renewal, will that be backported to PE 2021?

no plans to

or is that Puppet 8 exclusive

ah okay

yeah, it required changes to both the agent and puppetserver

both have to have the capability for it to work. New agents signal that they can auto-renew when talking to puppetserver

gotta give folks some incentive to hop on the STS train 😉

☕ Next up is CAT team -- modules in 108 hours

yeah, I'm a big STS fan, but customers don't like it 😞

I get it, as STS’s go, we’re pretty conservative though 🙂

we don’t break things too often 😉

the argument I always here is 'we want long term support' yeah well to get that you need to be on the latest LTS patch release. doesn't matter if we patch the LTS on a regular basis or the STS. the only difference is that STS gets potential performance enhancements and new features faster

The LTS is technically not supposed to get any new features. Bug fixes and security issues only.
