In the previous example, we called a resource called myapp just under the site{} declaration. This manifest, located in the myapp module at manifests/init.pp, declares the application, describes some overridable parameters, and orchestrates applications using the export and consume metaparameters. Notice the following:
- On the first line, the application myapp is used in place of a class or define.
- myapp::db exports to the SQL resource.
- myapp::web consumes the SQL resource.
- myapp::db will run before myapp::web, because myapp::web has a dependency via consume.
- We use the $name variable so that each component receives myapp as a name, taken from myapp {'myapp':}:
application myapp ( $dbuser = 'wordpress', $dbpass = ...
