=== Resource Ordering ===
+
* You can embed relationship information in a resource with the ''before'', ''require'', ''notify'', and ''subscribe'' metaparameters.
+
* You can also declare relationships outside a resource with the ''->'' and ''~>'' chaining arrows.
+
* Relationships can be either ordering (this before that) or ordering-with-notification (this before that, and tell that whether this was changed).
+
* Puppet’s relationship behaviors and syntaxes are documented in[[https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/lang_relationships.html| the Puppet reference manual page on relationships]].
+
* The ''ordering'' setting in ''puppet.conf'' determines the order in which unrelated resources are applied.
* Puppet has a bunch of built-in, pre-assigned variables that you can use.
+
* Facts: [[https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/lang_variables.html#facts-and-built-in-variables|facts]] ,Puppet uses a tool called Facter, which discovers some system information, normalizes it into a set of variables, and passes them off to Puppet. Puppet’s compiler then has access to those facts when it’s reading a manifest.
+
* [[https://docs.puppetlabs.com/facter/latest/core_facts.html|List of core facts]]
* Classes are named blocks of Puppet code, which can be created in one place and invoked elsewhere.
+
* Puppet 的 class 更像是宏， 但拥有变量域。
+
* ''include <class name>'' 来起作用。
+
* Modules:
+
* Modules are just directories with files, arranged in a specific, predictable structure. The manifest files within a module have to obey certain naming restrictions.
+
* Puppet looks for modules in a specific place (or list of places). This set of directories is known as the ''modulepath'', which is a [[https://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/configuration.html#modulepath|configurable setting]]
+
* If a class is defined in a module, you can declare that class by name in //any manifest//. Puppet will automatically find and load the manifest that contains the class definition.
+
* 一个 module 就是一个路径， 模块名就是路径名
+
* module layout: 模块包含子文件夹''manifests'',''files'',''templates''等等, 详看[[https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/modules_fundamentals.html| a page of info about module layout]] 以及 [[https://docs.puppetlabs.com/module_cheat_sheet.pdf| module cheat sheet]].
* Templates are saved as files with the ''.erb'' extension. and be stored in the ''templates/'' directory of any module. There can be any number of subdirectories inside ''templates/''.
+
* Use a template by the function ''template'': <code> file {'/etc/foo.conf':
