Puppet: Disable/Enable Agent

[sitzmoebelchronograph]

Summary

When using Ansible and Puppet in conjunction, it is possible for one to "step on" the other.

To avoid Puppet interfering with a running Ansible playbook, it would be helpful if there was support for specifically running:

puppet agent --disable "Doing Blah"

and, when done, run:

puppet agent --enable

It'd be "nice to have" for this to be part of the puppet module, rather than using raw commands, as it can be idempotent.

Issue Type

Feature Idea

Component Name

puppet

Additional Information

I'd see this working in a playbook something like this:

- name: Disable Puppet
  puppet:
    enabled: no
    message: Doing Blah
- name: Upgrade Stuff
  yum: '....'
- name: Enable Puppet
  puppet:
    enabled: yes
