facter is a lightweight program that gathers basic node information about the
hardware and operating system. facter is especially useful for retrieving things
like operating system names, hardware characteristics, IP addresses, MAC
addresses, and SSH keys.
facter is extensible and allows gathering of node information that may be custom
or site specific. It is easy to extend by including your own custom facts.
facter can also be used to create conditional expressions in Puppet that key off
the values returned by facts.
