Module for tuned-adm

[Romain Pelisse]

Hi all,

tuned-adm module: https://github.com/rpelisse/puppet-tuned

I'm using tuned-adm to tune the kernel of the target system according to a profile. I first used exec{} to trigger the profile setting but lead to the exec{} being ran at every Puppet run which I found, at beast, inelegant. I end up doing this module to more and less properly implement the exists? method. The module implementation is rather rudimentory but still nice to have - if you need it.

(Note: i've googled a bit before doing that and ran into a couple of existing Puppet module or code for tuned-adm but they were either using exec() internally or just installing the packages and nothing more). 

(Final note: Before XMas, I've already submitted a completely useless module extension to handle DNS Name, as it turned out Puppet supports this out of the box, so I hope this module proposal will be a tidbit more useful ! :) )

Thanks, I was about to roll out a puppet module for tuned-adm and found this.  Easy to use and working great in my environment.

Cheers!

You could also have a look at this other module :

I just had a look at Romain's, and a provider just for this is
overkill. As much as I hate exec, it's fine here since the profile name
is exactly contained in a single configuration file. Also, a class is
best here instead of a definition since it can only be instantiated
once per node. Lastly, using a class makes it trivial to tune nodes
using hiera and class parameter auto-lookup in puppet 3.

"Provider for this is overkill" was my first impression also, but after fighting a couple of time against my own exec for it, I just said "F**k that, let's make a proper extension". Also, this is very trivial extension allowed me to demo "how to do" such extension in small Puppet workshop that I gave.
