Puppet Enterprise 3.8 Installation - steps and fixes
The new Puppet Enterprise Version 3.8 is out since a couple of days.
It now supports Puppet 4 officially.
On mailinglist people were telling about installation issues.
This is a summary with fixes for SLES 11 and 12, CentOS 6 and 7, Ubuntu 12.04 and 14.10, Debian 6 and 7.
Seems as if Debian 8 is still to new for PE 3.8.

Puppet Enterprise on SLES
SLES and OpenSuSE are supported operatingsystems by Puppet.
But I always saw trouble when installing either the Puppet Master or the Agent on SLES.
One needs to take care on locales, paranoid umask, required packages.

OpenNebula Puppet types and providers
When setting up OpenNebula one has to configure many steps.
Since I do not like manual work and due to the reason that we already had the OpenNebula Puppet module available as OpenSource on GitHub, I started working on OpenNebula types and Providers.
You now can declare your OpenNebula infrastructure in Puppet DSL:

undefined method parent for nil:NilClass
Funny puppet errors:
err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Puppet::Parser::AST::Variable failed with error NoMethodError: undefined method `parent' for nil:NilClass at /etc/puppet/environments/foo/modules/util/manifests/init.pp:23 on node foo.bar.baz
warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
err: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run
And: it breaks always somewhere different.
