Is there any facter variable available or I can create a custom facter variable to identify the CentOS and Amazon Instances?
I want to install some utils on CentOS and Amazon Linux instances but not able to find a way to do that using puppet.

You can identify the operating system with the fact operatingsystem. The two values that you are interested in are Amazon and CentOS. If you log in to each host and run facter you can see what values are reported by each.

I am using facter-2.2 which give the same value of operatingsystem in amazon linux and centos – ramesh.mimit Jul 04 '15 at 06:55

Facter 2.2 should also have different values for the fact `operatingsystem`. What output are you getting? – Chris Pitman Jul 04 '15 at 13:45
