+Puppet
+======
+
+Where do i find the time a server was last deployed ?
+-----------------------------------------------------
+
+The puppet state file on the node indicates the last puppetrun:
+
+ ls -la /var/lib/puppet/state/state.yaml
+
+What resources are touched by puppet/leap_platform (services/packages/files etc.) ?
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Log into your server and issue:
+
+ grep -v '!ruby/sym' /var/lib/puppet/state/state.yaml | sed 's/\"//' | sort
+
+
+How can i customize the leap_platform puppet manifests ?
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+You can create a custom module `site_custom`. The class `site_custom::setup` will get
+included in the first part of the deploy process, and `site_custom` during the second part.
+Of cause you can also create a different git branch and change whatever you want, if you are
+familiar wit git.
+
+Facter
+======
+
+How can i see custom facts distributed by leap_platform on a node ?
+-------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+On the server, export the FACTERLIB env. variable to include the path of the custom fact in question:
+
+ export FACTERLIB=/var/lib/puppet/lib/facter:/srv/leap/puppet/modules/stdlib/lib/facter/
+ facter
+
+
+Etc
+===
+
+How do i change the domain of my provider ?
+-------------------------------------------
+
+* First of all, you need to have access to the nameserver config of your new domain.
+* Update domain in provider.json
+* remove all ca and cert files: `rm files/cert/* files/ca/*`
+* create ca, csr and certs : `leap cert ca; leap cert csr; leap cert dh; leap cert update`
+* deploy
