Versioned Deployment of Modules?

[Atom Powers]

I have, I think, a fairly "modern" setup of Puppet 3, hiera, ENC for external facts, role/stack meta-module etc. I have a single puppetmaster and I'm not inclined to do any kind of "master-less" puppet.

I am implementing a new monitoring system and it is a pretty big change. I don't want to deploy that to every host in my infrastructure at the same time. I want to be able to deploy a different version of my meta-module to different hosts.

What is the "best" way to deploy different version of a module to different hosts? I expect I could do something with environments but I'm not sure what that looks like?

==== Simple host description

ENC data for host.domain.tld: 

role=webserver

environment=production

----

webserver.yaml

classes: 

 - base

 - nginx

----

base.pp v1

include nagios

----

base.pp v2

include pandorafms

Look at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/environment.html especially
this part
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/environment.html#configuring-environments-on-the-puppet-master.
You can specify different modules directories based on the environment
and then put different version of base.pp depending on the environment
variable.
