Portable infrastructure with puppet

Portable Infrastructu re with Puppet Luke Kanies Founder of Puppet project Founder and CEO of Puppet Labs

The state of Puppet

Puppet is stable

Puppet is changing quickly • Still plenty of features to add • Every day we learn, and every lesson brings a refactoring • Maturity brings its own design requirements • Connectiveness is a larger priority

Puppet is Pervasive Web Entertainment Technology Financial Defense

I promised some things last year

Puppet Camp 2009 Promises •1.0 •WebGUI •Modules

Rowlf is imminent

Lots of refactoring, and a lot of features

Pure Ruby DSL

Class Parameters

Finished migration to REST Still working on publishing all of the formats and URLs

The single executable shift puppetmasterd puppet master puppetd puppet agent puppetca puppet cert ralsh puppet resource puppetdoc puppet doc

More informative reports Heavily trimmed

Exposing types and classes

Faster in many ways • Compiles are much faster • File serving is streamed (thanks Brice!) • Lots of small improvements

Relationship syntax

Hashes

Taught us a lot about how (not) to release

“Web GUI” Dashboard is growing and prospering

Node classiﬁcation

Reporting

Lots to come • Automatically detect optional and required parameters • Catalog and report correlation • Discovery • Harass Rein for more information!

Let’s go Back

Why does Puppet exist?

Embarrassment

A simple dream: That sysadmins could reuse code

Enable focus on the value-add Usually Ideally 0 25.0 50.0 75.0 100.0 Things you have to do Things you want to do

The Problem } • No standardization Every • 75% of IT budgets spent infrastructure to maintain existing systems starts from • Code changes with the scratch sysadmin

We needed a high-level language for

Shell scripts are assembly code Programmin SysAdmin g Low-level, non- Assembly perl/shell/etc portable, single-use Abstract, portable, C* Puppet reusable * For small values of abstract

So: The ultimate goal was code reuse

We’ve built a platform that can enable reuse

Now we just need to start sharing

Announcing: Puppet Forge http://forge.puppetlabs.com http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/ module-site

Share the modules you’ve created

Find modules others have

Client-side tools

Extension metadata is

Minimum Viable Product (MVP)

It’s all about code reuse

Westheimer's Discovery: A couple of months in the laboratory can frequently save

Luke’s Corollary: A couple of months of development can frequently save a couple of hours on the internet.

Collaborate on existing code rather than

Or, start again and publish

A new forcing function in

Because there’s now a place for all that metadata: • Classes, deﬁnitions, nodes, etc. • Required and optional parameters • Versions • Dependencies

Drives further introspection in Puppet

We can add: • Portability information - ‘conﬁne’ in classes and modules • Incompatibilities • “Tested on” information • Etc.

Pushes Dashboard to manage modules

Package-like behaviour in the modules

Fills out the product portfolio •The industry-leading open source automation platform Puppet •Supported with subscription Puppet •A graphical view into your Puppet infrastructure •A simpliﬁed interface for many conﬁguration actions Dashboard •Collaborate with other IT administrators on Puppet content Puppet Forge •Access Puppet Labs supported modules
