Introduction to Managed Infrastructure with Puppet
Puppet is a popular open-source server management solution written in Ruby, in use by organizations around the world to manage their computers more cheaply, more effectively, and with a higher quality of service.
While Puppet is one of the easier infrastructure tools you’ll ever use, it’s still helpful to have a hands-on introduction to how to get started, and this workshop will provide just such an introduction. The workshop will gloss over the deep technical details to allow you to focus on doing useful work as soon as possible.
In the course of the workshop you’ll be exposed to most of the tools you’d use in a functioning Puppet installation, and we’ll produce a simple Puppet architecture that can manage a few key services and demonstrate some of the more interesting problems Puppet simplifies solving

Comments
The company providing A/V (audio support) has a tech in there with his iPhone turned to maximum ring. It rang 2 times during the this workshop and at least once during the Hadoop presentation. Talk about bad form.
This session felt fairly disjointed – I wanted a little more context. It was like reading man pages, which is fine but begs some questions for people not using puppet yet.
