Does Puppet still execute in random order?

[Sandra Schlichting]

Dear all =)

It have been +5 years since I used Puppet at my previous job, and back then I recall Puppet executed the tasks in random order, and I had to glue all the tasks together to get them to be executed sequential.

I recall something about Puppet have been completely rewritten since, so I was wondering if this random order behaviour is still present?

Hugs,

Sandra =)

The magic reordering business was deprecated and removed,  and replaced with "manifest ordering". There's more details in https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/7/lang_relationships.html and https://puppet.com/blog/introducing-manifest-ordered-resources/

Thanks a lot Josh =)

Googling "manifest ordering" gives this excellent book on just this https://subscription.packtpub.com/book/networking_and_servers/9781787284715/1/ch01lvl1sec14/controlling-the-order-of-execution .
