Abstract
In Chapter 2 we talked about the ways you can define your hosts or nodes to Puppet. We talked about specifying them in a variety of forms as node statements in your Puppet manifest files. We also mentioned that Puppet has the capability to store node information in external sources. This avoids the need to specify large numbers of nodes manually in your manifest files, a solution that is time-consuming and not scalable.
