    i think sync'd.. that takes several seconds on each node in a fleet of 1000 and is only needed on 1... that sort of thing.
  • r
    why- can you disable pluginsync on a per module basis ?
  • b
    no
  • b
    but you can confine facts to certain things
  • b
    and are several seconds that bad?
  • r
    nope, thinking providers.
  • b
    they are just copied, not executed
  • b
    ah well, they might do some prefetching, yes.
  • b
    and you could split your nodes into multiple environments
  • r
    except if they are bulky like DSC stuff, then they become expensive to sha256 dozens of files x the number of providers, equals multiple seconds.
  • b
    you really should split windows and linux to different environments
  • v
    PE provides a way to "pre-zip" them first, not sure if it's available in opensource
  • b
    @vchepkov that's only used for the initial puppet run
  • v
    yep, but it's fast after
  • b
    it's identical to open source. it uses a normal pluginsync after downloading the plugins once as .tar.gz
  • b
    and that tar.gz is only created for the environment of the puppet agent on the puppetserver, which often isn't the same as your other agents
  • v
    hmm, I know it's down for windowz
  • v
    Copy code
    pe_repo::enable_windows_bulk_pluginsync:
  • b
    now if the module would be public we could check what it does!
  • b
    well, it's a hidden secret ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  • v
    I'll look 🙂
  • r
    definitely dont want to split win/linux. and this particular case it would be windows/windows... a good example is AD dsc. it would only be used on 1 host.
  • v
    That creates a zip file that installer downloads during agent install
  • v
    so files are already "there" once agent runs first time
  • v
    no magic
  • b
    @natemccurdy finally post something! 😄
  • b
    "@natemccurdy is typing" since 10 minutes 😄

    dropped something on the keyboard 🙂
