About Puppet

Puppet is a framework that provides a means to describe IT infrastructure as policy, execute that policy, to build services then audit and enforce ongoing changes to the policy.

Puppet helps accomplish the goal of a hands-off, automated infrastructure. The benefits of automated infrastructure go beyond policy-enforced consistency and auditing. The impact of hardware failure and other disaster scenarios can be mitigated, as services can be quickly restored by Puppet. In conjunction with virtualisation, the ability to reliably create new systems running consistent services can be leveraged to create autoscaling applications as well as test systems identical to production environments.

Many organisations use Puppet within their IT infrastructure, including Google, Red Hat and Barclays.


What the talk will cover

R.I.P. will talk through installing apache, configuring it and running the service using Puppet, He'll then show how to abstract some business processes and standards into Puppet and finally roll out a website to a VM in a way that would work equally well on 1000 servers.
