Technical.ly Baltimore is teaming up with Millennial Media to bring this tech demo and Q&A about the growing, industry-standard software automation tools from Puppet Labs. Join us at Millennial Media's HQ in Canton to hear directly from experts at Puppet Labs about this extremely popular tool, and why this new service is critical for your DevOps resume.

Puppet Enterprise takes the core of Puppet Community and adds to it with dashboards, automatic node registration, hiera data, push-based orchestration and more. As Puppet spreads into mainstream corporate America, the Enterprise version is becoming the tool of choice for large-scale orchestrated deployments and server management. With its full collection of built-in helper applications and comprehensive reporting, it is second to none in its field.

6:00 – 6:45 PM: Social
Please join us in the Millennial Media Clubhouse for drinks, pizza and networking with professionals from the area.

6:45 – 7:00 PM: Richard McCluskey, Director of DevOps at Millennial Media

In this talk you’ll get an inside look at some of the Puppet infrastructure at Millennial Media, including its uses, module builds, implementation and direct improvements to Millennial Media’s product releases.

7:00 – 8:00 PM: Greg Kitson, Service Engineer for Puppet Labs

Greg will go over the advantages of working with Puppet Enterprise versus Puppet Community, and how they can fit into your software needs. He will also provide a technical demonstration to explain the topic, and will go over new and unique features Puppet has to offer. After the presentation, he will be available for Q&A on all things Puppet.

Millennial is located in the Can Company Building (above Langerman’s and Outback Steakhouse). The social portion of the evening will take place in the Millennial Clubhouse (The Clubhouse (formerly the Field House restaurant) is located to the right of the main entrance to Millennial Media’s offices) and then we’ll head upstairs for the presentation portion. Free parking is available in nearby lots and surrounding streets. Paid parking is available in the parking garage in the Factory Building, adjacent to Millennial Media’s offices.
