Preface

This book is a work in progress new chapters will be added as they are written. We welcome feedback if you spot any errors or would like to suggest improvements, you can submit errata or send email directly to jrhett@netconsonance.com.

Similarly, weve made a survey available for you to share your feedback, here.

This book will teach you how to install and use Puppet, a configuration management system. It will introduce you to how Puppet works, and how Puppet provides value to you. Youll learn how to setup a testing environment you can use to learn Puppet, then keep and evolve as your Puppet knowledge grows. Youll learn how to declare and implement configuration policy for hundreds of nodes.

This book covers modern best practices for Puppet 3 and Puppet 4. Youll find tips throughout the book labeled Best Practice.

Youll learn how to update an existing Puppet 2 or Puppet 3 installation for the increased features and improved parser of Puppet 4. Youll learn how to run Puppet services over IPv6 protocol.

Most important of all, this book will cover how to scale your Puppet installation to handle thousands of nodes. Youll learn multiple strategies for handling diverse and heterogenous environments, and reasons why each of these approaches may be appropriate or not for your needs.

Who this book is for

This book is primarily aimed at System Administrators and Operations or DevOps Engineers. If you are responsible for development or production nodes, this book will provide you with immediately useful tools to make your job easier than ever before. If you run a high-uptime production environment, youre going to learn how Puppet can enforce your existing standards throughout the implementation. Within a week youll wonder how you ever got along without it.

No matter what you call yourself, if you feel that you spend too much time managing computers then this book is for you. Youd like to get it done faster so you can focus on something else. Youd like to do it more consistently, so that you dont have to chase down one-off problems in your reports. Or youve got some new demands that youre looking for a way to solve. If any of these statements fit, you will find Puppet to be one of the best tools in your toolbox.

What to expect from me

This book will not be a heavy tome filled with reference material irrelevant to the day to day system administrator---exactly the opposite. Throughout this book we will never stray from one simple goal: We focus all our efforts on how Puppet can help you do something faster or better than ever before.

This book will never tell you to run a script and not tell you what it does, or why. I hate modeling systems to determine what an installation script did, and I wont do this to you. In this book you will build up the entire installation by hand. Every step you take will be useful to you in a production deployment. Youll know where every configuration file lives. Youll learn every configuration parameter and what it means.

By the time you have finished this book, youll know how Puppet works inside and out. You will have the tools and knowledge to deploy Puppet seamlessly throughout your environment.

What you will need

You may use any modern Linux, Mac, or Windows system and successfully follow the hands-on tutorials in this book.

While there are some web dashboards for Puppet, the process of configuring and enabling Puppet, and utilization of the agent will be performed through the command line. We will help you install any necessary software.

A beginner to system administration can follow every tutorial in this book. Any experience with scripts, coding, or configuration management will enhance what you can get out of this book, but is not necessary. It is entirely possible to deploy Puppet to manage complex environments without writing a single line of code.

Part II: Puppet Modules documents how to build custom modules for Puppet. Most Puppet modules can be created using the Puppet configuration language that will be taught in this book. When youve become an expert in building Puppet modules, you may want to add new functions to the Puppet configuration language. New functions are created in pure Ruby. Reference materials like http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596529864.do[Learning Ruby] can be helpful when creating new functions for use in a custom Puppet module.

What youll find in this book

The provides an overview of what Puppet does, how it works, and why you may want to use it.

Part I: Getting Started will get you running with a working Puppet installation. You will learn how to write declarative Puppet policies to produce consistency in your systems. This will also cover the changes in the language that Puppet 4 has brought.

Part II: Puppet Modules will introduce you to Puppet modules, the building blocks used for Puppet policies. You will learn where to find Puppet modules. Youll learn how to distinguish Puppet Labs-provided and Puppet Approved modules. More importantly, youll learn how to build, test, and publish your own modules.

Part III: Puppet Master will help you install the Puppet master. You will learn the integrated components that make up the Puppet infrastructure. Youll install and configure each in a manner suitable for your specific environment.

Part IV: Advanced Puppet will review real-life deployment considerations. You will learn about ways to scale puppet to thousands or tens of thousands of nodes. Youll learn how to manage the infrastructure that Puppet depends upon using Puppet.

Part V: Puppet Ecosystem will show you infrastructure that ties together with, enables, or supports your Puppet installation. While each of these is worthy of their own book, youll install and configure each of these to provide immediate value in your Puppet environment.
