• Wrap commands and scripts in any
language (Powershell, Bash, Ansible
modules) and execute them as tasks
• Gain control and visibility into ad hoc
work across your infrastructure
• Use Puppet as secure, scalable way to
manage, version, delegate and
execute infrastructure as code

23. Puppet language addition: plans
plan mymodule::my_plan(
String[1] $load_balancer,
Variant[String[1], Array[String[1]] $frontends,
Variant[String[1], Array[String[1]] $backends,
) {
# process frontends
run_task('mymodule::lb_remove', $load_balancer, frontends => $frontends)
run_task('mymodule::update_frontend_app', $frontends, version => '1.2.3')
run_task('mymodule::lb_add', $load_balancer, frontends => $frontends)
}
