Puppet Provider and Type

[ggun]

Writing puppet provider and type :

1. I am trying to write my module with provider and type and every time I run the module. I get the error 'Error: Could not find a suitable provider ssm'

Please find attached module. Every time I run 'puppet apply -e 'include storagemanagement' I get above error. I have written simple print commands in provider but still getting that error.

It looks like your provider probably has incorrect `confine` statements. You have `confine :ssm => '/usr/bin/ssm'`, which will only match if there is a fact called 'ssm' with the value '/usr/bin/ssm'. I think what you're looking for is `commands :ssm => '/usr/bin/ssm'` (commands vs. confine), which will restrict the provider to only nodes where that command exists. It will also create a helper method called 'ssm' that will run that command.
