I first met Alessandro in person at the inaugural Puppet Camp in San Francisco, 2009, but by this time, we'd already chatted on IRC and the Puppet Users mailing list. This was a small event by the standards of Puppet community events today, with about 60 people in attendance, and it's been great to see how many of that original crowd have continued to be active participants in the community, especially Alessandro.
While I was running Puppet at Google, I kept getting a lot of questions from attendees about how we were managing to scale our Puppet infrastructure technically. Alessandro, however, was already prodding me about how I was managing workflow and code layout for reusability and shareability, a topic that he's been very much focused on over the last five years.
When I initially left Google and moved to Puppet Labs in late 2010 to handle products, it became even more apparent how much Alessandro cared about guiding the community towards standards for Puppet content that allowed for reusability and shareability, yet allowed sysadmins to work quickly. We saw this with his promotion of the "params pattern" to consolidate input variables in a single location, and to allow for a first step towards separating data from code, well before the existence of Hiera as a formal project.
Alessandro saw this need well before most of us, and regularly raised it with the community as well as just about every time we ran into each other at conferences and events. As new projects appeared that added to the capabilities of the Puppet ecosystem, he modified his thinking and raised new proposals.
I'm thrilled to see this new book by Alessandro on Puppet architectures and design patterns, and I can't think of a better person to write it. He's cared about these principles for a long time, and he's promoted them as a responsible community member.

Alessandro Franceschi is a freelance Puppet and DevOps consultant. Surviving IT battlegrounds since 1995, he has worked as an entrepreneur, web developer, trainer, and system and network administrator.
He has been using Puppet since 2007, automating a remarkable amount of customers' infrastructures of different sizes, natures, and complexities.
He has attended several PuppetConf and Puppet Camps as a speaker and participant, always enjoying the vibrant and friendly community, learning something new each time.
During the following years, he started to publish his Puppet code, trying to make it reusable in different scenarios.
The result of this work is the Example42 Puppet modules set, a widely used collection of modules based on reusability principles and with some optional, opinionated twists to automate firewalling, monitoring, systems' inventory, and application deployments.
For more information on Example42 modules, visit www.example42.com. His Twitter handle is @alvagante.
This is my first book. When Packt Publishing asked me to write a book about Puppet, I was surprised, flattered, and intrigued. The idea of sharing my experience about this wonderful tool was really attractive.
I have been using Puppet for seven years. I have loved it since the beginning.
I have seen a great community of people doing wonderful things with it, and I tried to credit as many people as possible, knowing that many worthy contributors have been forgotten.
I have assisted in its evolution and the tumultuous growth of the company behind it, Puppet Labs.
I have definitely not seen any attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion, but I think I have gathered enough experience about Puppet to have valuable things to write about and share.
Please forgive my approximate grasp of the language; if you are a native English speaker, you will surely find some sentences weird or just wrong.
I tried to avoid the temptation to build phrases based on my mother language constructs; I believe I have failed in more than one place.
Various people have helped me with suggestions and corrections; they couldn't solve all my language idiosyncrasies and content limitations, but their input has been very important to make this book better.
I'd like to thank in particular Brice Figureau, Joshua Hoblitt, and Azharuddin Sheikh for the invaluable help and corrections, and Nigel Kersten, Jon Forrest, Calogero Bonasia, Monica Colangelo, and Kartik Vedam for the precious suggestions.
A big hug to Chiara, who is always patient and supportive, and to all my family, even the younger one who is extremely skilled in kicking me out of the bed, encouraging early morning writing sessions.
It's time to enjoy some more weekends together, finally.
Dhruv Ahuja is a senior DevOps engineer at a leading financial data vendor. He specializes in orchestration and configuration management in an enterprise, heterogeneous setting. His first brush with Puppet was in 2011 when he developed a solution for dynamically scaling compute nodes for a multipurpose grid platform. He also holds a Master's degree in Advanced Software Engineering from King's College London, and won the Red Hat UK Channel Consultant of the Year award in 2012 for delivering progressive solutions. A long history in conventional software development and traditional systems administration equip him with aptness in both areas. In this era of infrastructure as code, he believes that declarative abstraction is essential for a maintainable systems life-cycle process.
