If you are using modules you can use tags.

Each module is also a tag.

Example you have three modules:

<moduledir>/apache/manifests...

<moduledir>/mysql/manifests...

<moduledir>/base/manifests...

you can use tags to run one or some modules only:

puppet agent --test --tags=apache

puppet agent --test --tags=apache,mysql

hth,

Martin

As of now the only idea I have - is to expose puppet tree via nfs or
HTTP, download/mount only modules I need and run puppet in standalone
mode like puppet --apply.
Just wandering if there are a better way to do it?

PS: sent it by email, but don't see my post, sorry if it will be duplicate
