Environment isolation metadata and Code Manager
The live code and staging code directories contain metadata files generated by file sync, which provide environment isolation for your resource types.
The metadata files, which have a .pp extension, ensure that each
environment uses the correct version of the resource type.
Do not
delete or modify the metadata files. Do not use expressions from these files in
regular manifests.
These files are generated when Code Manager deploys new code in your environments. If you are new to Code Manager, these files are generated when you first deploy your environments. If you already use Code Manager, the files are generated as you make and deploy changes to your existing environments.
You can learn more about these files and their role in Environment isolation in the Puppet documentation.
