A simple framework for getting started with standalone Puppet
Sockpuppet is designed to be a very simple scaffolding for getting started with Puppet (http://www.puppetlabs.com/), focused on getting the most basic, common tasks done while following many of the established practices for Puppet. The goal is that a new user should be able to use Sockpuppet to accomplish the most basic systems tasks in a short amount of time, but should be set up to grow easily into using more advanced forms of Puppet, including Agent/Master Puppet, External Node Classifiers, and more complicated Hiera configurations.
