The Problem Need to deploy a new Puppet Enterprise cluster with a PuppetMaster, PuppetConsole and a PuppetDB while avoiding typos and misconfigurations. Also need to deploy to several environments using a consistent configuration.

The Goal A repeatable and documented way to deploy the very finicky Puppet installer in any environment needed from local vagrants to the clouds of vSphere, AWS, RackSpace or Digital Ocean.
