Como diria o poeta, nós castramos um leão por vez. O novo tempo para aplicar as configurações com o puppet está em real 1m48.661s user 0m37.764s sys 0m10.524s Bem melhor que os quase quatro minutos. Rumo aos 30 segundos, irra!

Four minutes is the time to get a few things done. In this time you can drink a water, smoke a cigarette, make some kind of WHOAAA or anything else... Or setup a new entirely server. Every server ships with Evaluation Assurance Level 4 and is the nearest to perfection someone could be. Nothing is supposed: we've done an awesome job here and everything works as it should. Let me show you a few facts: one server spends 4 minutes to be completely configured by puppet, so 360 servers can be up and running in a day. We need to raise down this speed to something about 30 seconds and get more than 2k servers per day. Puppet 2.6.x introduces a ruby dsl, so manifests and resources can be written in ruby right now. It's time to rewrite everything with this dsl and talk pure ruby. Thank you Puppet, Ruby and the girl dressed in red...
