yum repo on same machine as Puppet Master?

[Thomas]

I'm a relative newbie using Puppet Enterprise 2.5.3 (I know there are new versions)....

I currently have my Yum repo served via HTTP on a different machine from my Puppet Master and I'm considering moving my Yum repo to the same machine that runs the Puppet Master. Is that a good, bad or indifferent practice?

My Puppet Master (for now) will manage less than 10 nodes so I'm not worried about performance.

Thanks! Thomas Kenny

Thomas,

By design, PE will not interfere with the vendor httpd package. With a small setup like that, I do not see keeping your repo there as being something you shouldn't do. Just be mindful of the non-puppet services you wish to host from the master. If there is any insecurity or vulnerability in the extra services you host from your master, then Puppet might not be as secure.
