Puppet Labs Presentation

Puppet Labs PSE Garrett Honeycutt will be joining us following DevOpsDay Boston.
Garret plans on giving a two part talk, the first being an Intro to Puppet and configuration management. This will cover why you want configuration management, how Puppet works, and what the code looks like.
The other one deals with how Puppet fits into your existing infrastructure along with best practices including provisioning, package repositories, data storage, and the myth of rollbacks.
While focusing on Puppet, best practices are not Puppet specific, and people implementing configuration management with other tools will benefit greatly from this.

Garrett Honeycutt has been hacking *nix based systems and spreading the merits of open source software for over ten years. He began using Puppet in 2007 while building out a national carrier grade VoIP system. Previously, he has worked on such things as building core internet infrastructure for an ISP and creating mobile media distribution platforms.
