engine: resources: pippet: Initial implementation for new resource type
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The pippet resource implements faster integration of Puppet resources
in mgmt at runtime, by piping synchronization commands to a Puppet
process that keeps running alongside mgmt. This avoids huge overhead
through launching a Puppet process for each operation on a resource
that is delegated to Puppet.
