Speaker:
Luke Kanies, Founder, Reductive Labs.
Puppet is a server management project written in Ruby, currently in production use on thousands of servers and workstations around the world, developed to meet the management needs of modern data centers and services. It is a
framework for comprehensive service management, combining a high-level declarative language and a portable resource abstraction layer.
This talk will cover the most important design patterns and data flows in the Puppet world and how these can enable you to teach your computers to do the work instead of you. Puppet is useful for more than just large-scale centralized administration, though, so we will also discuss some less common uses for it. We'll finish up with some ideas and inspirations for where we hope to go next.
