Puppet Template

 Templating is a method of getting things in a standard format, which can be used in multiple locations

• Template Combine code and data to render a final document(like PHP)
• Useful for complex configuration files you would like to manage with puppet
• Puppet supports Embedded puppet (.epp) or Embedded Ruby Template(.erb)
• Stores templates in the modules templates/ directory
• Reference in your code with <>/<>
  For example np/ntp.conf.epp

  Example

  Create a file called test.epp and write below code

        <% | String $text, Boolean $bool | -%>
        Text value is <%= $text %>
  
        <% if $bool { -%>
        bool is set to true
        <% } -%>
  
  

  Validate the code

      puppet epp validate test.epp
  

  render the code

       puppet epp render test.epp --values '{ text => "Hello World", bool => true }'
