On the functional part of testing ops/puppet changes (as in: what will
happen on the target nodes after applying this change), we could have a
trigger set up for the puppet compiler~[1] that would post a comment with
the changes in Gerrit. The target nodes could be indicated with a line in
the PS' commit message, perhaps. Something like:

Regular commit msg here ...

Affects: node1.eqiad.wmnet,node2.codfw.wmnet
Bug: TXXXX
Commit-Id: XXXXXXXXXXX

Zuul could detect the line and automatically start a puppet compiler round.

Cheers,
Marko
