UTOSC 2008: Automated System Management with Puppet by Andrew Shafer
Puppet is a free open source system configuration framework. Automated configuration enables a new level of operational effectiveness. Complexity can be minimized when systems are modeled and those living specifications can be executed. This lowers the real cost of change management and enables IT as a differentiator. This presentation will introduce the motivation and philosophy behind the project, followed by practical representative examples of Puppet style automation.
