Anyone playing with cfacter? (facter rewritten in C++)

[Brian Gupta]

For those that don't know, Puppet 4 will support "native facter",
which is basically facter rewritten in C++. (This aims to address a
long time complaint about facter performance.)

Running on a Mac, I see:

cfacter: real 0m3.156s
cfacter: real 0m0.765s

IE: It seems to be 4 times faster, than ruby facter! (It also supports
data types other than strings. e.g. - facts can contain a hash.)

You can get it here.. Pretty straightforward to build from source.
https://github.com/puppetlabs/cfacter

BTW if you use a Mac, and use macports, you can just replace the brew
command with port.

moreso than being faster, it can be compiled for just about any hardware/software platform in existence.

Which will really be useful when puppet-agent gets rewritten in C++.
(A work in progress apparently.) "Native agent"
