abyss-as-a-service

Floating serenely through a peaceful abyss, a sigh escapes; content.
A siren wails, you're jolted from your respite
/dev/xsdb1 is at 100%

A cacophony of alerts screech from the phone.
Upset is the fragile balance, failure cascades.
Was only a matter of time.
Get some coffee.

All you ping seems to crumble, machine after machine fall; a massacre of uptime.

Problem Statement

Currently, module authors use a 'params class pattern' to provide defaults for the parameters their classes accept. A module for managing a database service mydb, for example, will provide a class mydb::params, which contains parameter assignments like $mydb::params::tcp_port, $mydb::params::install_dir, etc. These assignments can use the puppet DSL for conditional logic so that the install_directory follows different OS' filesystem conventions appropriately. The parameter values are then used in the module's other classes, either in the prototype for the class or directly in the manifest:

class mydb::packages (

$tcp_port = $mydb::params::tcp_port,
