Puppet nodes cant' find master, ec2 public versus internal ip addresses and hosts files
- by Blankman
If I setup my hosts files such that they reference all other ec2 nodes using the internal ip addresses, will this work or do I have to use the external ip addresses?
Do I need to specify anything in my security group to get internal ip addresses to work?
e.g. /etc/hosts
ip-10-11-12-13.internal some_node_name
If I do this, can I reference some_node_name anywhere in my scripts where I would have used the ip address previously?
On my puppet agent servers, I have a reference to my puppet master like:
public-ip-here puppet
When I reboot my puppet agent's, syslog shows they couldn't find the master with the message: getaddinfo : name or service not known
I did get it to work by updating /etc/default/puppet
and I added to the options:
--server=public-ip-here
From what I read, puppet will by default try using 'puppet', and I set this in my hosts file so why wouldn't it be picking this up?
