Automation

Very Simple Languageclass ssh { ! package { 'openssh-server': ensure => present, } ! file { 'sshd_config': path => '/etc/ssh/sshd_config', source => ‘puppet:///modules/ssh/sshd_config', require => Package['openssh-server'], notify => Service['sshd'], } ! service { 'sshd': ensure => running, enable => true, require => File['sshd_config'], } !}

New Approach: Software Defined Infrastructure

1. DEFINE 2. SIMULATE

4. REPORT

Re-usable infrastructure-as-code Before deploying changes

Automatically and reliably Insight into changes

DESIRED STATE

CURRENT STATE

3. ENFORCE

}

FactsThe node sends normalized data about itself to the Puppet Master.

1

CatalogPuppet uses the Facts tocompile a Catalog thatspecifies how the nodeshould be configured.

2

ReportPuppetʼs open API can also send data to third party tools.

4

ReportThe node reports back to Puppet indicating the configuration is complete, which is visible in the Puppet Dashboard.

People Love our Worldwide Training!

I liked being with other sharp admins in an environment where "cross-pollination" and experimentation were encouraged.““

A brilliant course to jump into using puppet fast and effectively.“Very useful information, a good start for our Puppet team, and would highly recommend it.
