puppet cloud provisioner used in module

[John Bencic]

from what i see the puppet cloud provisioner module seems to be a command line tool

does anyone know if there is any way (apart from an exec call) to call the module from another module


what i want to do is
 - define a list of nodes (somewhere)
 - check my vm environment if these nodes already exist
 - make a call to provision the missing boxes

that way i could spin up dev/test environment from my puppet server

am i going about this the wrong way ?

Makes sense, but instead of cloud provisioner, to implement it in Puppet, it requires type/providers and would look similar to this:

https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-gce_compute

You can also look at Terraform.

HTH,
