PuppetConf 2013

Rouster is an abstraction layer between you and Vagrant. At salesforce.com, we're using it to assist in running functional tests of the Puppet code we've written. While RSpec is significantly faster, it really only tells you whether the catalog contains what you expect it to - not whether those things can/will be applied successfully - and that's where Rouster comes in.

Currently the library contains many hooks for system level testing and information gathering (is_file?(), is_user_in_group?(), is_service?()) and puppet related functionality (get_catalog(), parse_catalog(), run_puppet()), but we're looking to expand.
