Set up Apache node groups

Tell Puppet Enterprise (PE) your desired infrastructure configuration by creating node groups to categorize related nodes based on their function. Before you begin, decide which of your inventory nodes you want to have Apache services.

Setting up a node group does not install software or configure the individual nodes in the node group. A node group is a categorical designation for related nodes (in this case, nodes running the Apache module), and you use the node group to manage nodes in bulk. After creating a node group, you must apply a role to the group so the nodes have some specifications to inherit.
