Feature #15095
Updated by Dominic Cleal almost 8 years ago
For Puppet Server 2.3.0 or higher (Puppet version 4.4+), a new environment_classes API is available that replaces resource_types. https://docs.puppet.com/puppetserver/2.3/release_notes.html#new-feature-environmentclasses-api https://docs.puppet.com/puppetserver/latest/release_notes.html#new-feature-environmentclasses-api https://docs.puppet.com/puppetserver/2.3/puppet-api/v3/environment_classes.html In Puppet 4.5 (probably Puppet Server 2.4.0?) the older resource_types API is deprecated: https://docs.puppet.com/puppet/4.5/reference/release_notes.html#deprecations There are some features that we can expose in the smart proxy, e.g. # typing via @default_literal@ - Foreman already follows the type of the default value in the JSON response (int, hash etc) to set the type of the smart class parameter. resource_types returns everything as a string. # reporting of errors - this could be logged on the smart proxy and/or added to the API response # clearer caching semantics with etag/matching support
