investments
• Negative perception of IT
• IT not lined up with priority projects
• Inconsistent manual processes across
business units
• Lack of governance, control and visibility
• Silos of automation & increasing # of
IT specialists

1. Define the desired state of the
infrastructure's configuration using
Puppet's declarative language.
2. Simulate configuration changes
before enforcing them.
3. Enforce the deployed desired
state automatically, correcting
any configuration drift.
4. Report on differences
between actual and desired
states, and any changes made
enforcing the desired state.

Puppet is Declarative
file { '/etc/sudoers':
ensure => file,
owner => root,
group => root,
mode => 440,
}

27. 27
Puppet is Idempotent
# puppet apply nigel_user.pp
notice: /Stage[main]//User[nigel]/ensure: created
notice: Finished catalog run in 0.05 seconds
# puppet apply nigel_user.pp
notice: Finished catalog run in 0.03 seconds
#

28. 28
Puppet has a Resource Abstraction Layer
# puppet resource user nigel
user { 'nigel':
ensure => 'present',
uid => '1004',
gid => '1004',
home => '/home/nigel',
password => '!',
shell => '/bin/sh',
}

29. 29
Puppet has useful abstractions
package { 'sshd':
ensure => installed,
}
service { 'ssh':
ensure => running,
enabled => true,
}
user { 'nigel':
ensure => absent,
}

30. 30
Puppet has more useful abstractions
postgresql::db { 'my_database_name':
user => 'my_database_user',
password => 'my_password'
}
postgresql::database_grant { 'test1':
privilege => 'ALL',
db => ’my_database_name',
role => ’helpdesk',
}
firewall { '002 accept related established':
proto => 'all',
state => ['RELATED', 'ESTABLISHED'],
action => 'accept',
}

31. 31
Puppet models your infrastructure
package { 'sshd':
ensure => installed,
}
service { 'ssh':
ensure => running,
enabled => true,
require => Package[sshd],
}
file { 'sshd_config':
ensure => file,
content => puppet:///ssh/sshd_config,
notify => Service[ssh],
}
