If you’re not yet familiar with this pattern, do check it out.  A “myapp” profile might be justified to handle bridging both the “myapp” tech module and the sudo module.)

I'm barely half-way through (got side-tracked by the excellent Unix Philosophy article and listening to the Congressional hearing on the OPM hack...*grumble*), but there's some pretty great stuff in here.  Not all of it makes sense right now, but I'm definitely getting into some areas that go beyond the basics to developing a more robust puppet architecture -- exactly the sort of areas that I've been trying to sort out.

Good stuff, thanks!
