1332609 - Upgrade puppet version on our puppet masters

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Infrastructure & Operations :: RelOps: Puppet, task)

Description

[Alin Selagea [:aselagea]]

We discussed with Kim and Coop about this during our recent meetings and there are a few questions that we'd like to address here:
    1. which is the current state?
    2. are there any concerns about the upgrade (e.g. moving some machines to another DC)?
    3. how can buildduty help with this?

I definitely have concerns about trying to do a puppet upgrade while we're trying to do security patching, stand up a new platform, and move to multiple datacenters, yes. I think the first step here would be to  evaluate how long the transition would be, what the work involved is (I presume we need to upgrade the binaries and libraries on ALL the platforms as well as change the puppet code itself), and if we can get it done before we start trying to do all the prep work for the dc move. If so, and buildduty wants to own and drive this, then sure, let's do it. Otherwise, I suspect this is something that will be put on hold until after we've finished the move.

We're abandoning the old puppet master model, moving to masterless puppet and upgrading along the way.
