Description

Whits are internal artifacts of Puppet’s current implementation, and Puppet suppresses their appearance in all logs. We make no guarantee of the whit’s continued existence, and it should never be used in an actual manifest. Use the anchor type from the puppetlabs-stdlib module if you need arbitrary whit-like no-op resources.
