Puppet does have a single run mode of usage: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/man/apply.html

I use it to manage just 5 servers, with a Fabric script that rsyncs the manifests up to the servers then runs `puppet apply` to apply the changes.

true, and that's exactly what I was doing. rsync and then run puppet apply. that's just a lot of grinding if you only made one little typo.

and I see here I have capfiles and a system to bootstrap a new server. way too much stuff for this scale. (4 servers)
