On-going maintainance with puppet (for UEC and more)

Registered by Mathias Gug

As a UEC admin I can move one Node Controller to another Cluster without logging into the NC by updating a recipe on the puppet service.
As a UEC admin I can easily deploy new NC.

Notes: provide a puppet service to manage UEC itself, provide puppet recipes to manage each component of UEC and integrate them together.

Install puppetmaster on the CLC by default.

================
UDS Natty discusion
================

* Run Puppet Master under Passenger.
 * May need modpassenger in Main, but may have issues with dependencies.

* Define UEC compenents as puppet classes and modules.
* Have recipes in packages, or a package of recipes
 * Recipes should probably be in /etc/puppet rather than /usr/share/puppet.
 * For Natty create /etc/puppet/modules.

* Installation Service can live on the same box as the Puppet Master.
