Agentless::Catalog::Executor

App Overview

The Agentless Catalog Executor (ACE) provides agentless executions services for tasks and catalogs to Puppet Enterprise (PE). See developer-docs/api for an API spec.

See below for development info.

Code Overview

API entrypoints are in lib/ace/transport_app.rb.

Fork isolation is implemented in lib/ace/fork_utils.rb

Catalog compilations use the certless v4 catalog puppetserver endpoint and expose it through the indirector in lib/puppet/indirector/catalog/certless.rb.

Installation

ACE is built-in to PE as pe-ace-server.

Development

As ACE is dependent on Puppet Server, there is a docker-compose file in the spec/ directory which we advise you run before the ACE service to ensure that the certs and keys are valid. For more information, see the docker documentation.

To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, generate a new changelog with bundle exec rake changelog, commit the results and run bundle exec rake release, which creates a git tag for the version, pushes git commits and tags, and pushes the .gem file to rubygems.org. Released gems are eventually consumed by ace-vanagon and promoted into PE.
