One Year of Porting - Post-mortem of two Linux/SteamOS launches
2013 was the year in which Linux finally got the attention of game developers; it was also the year in which my first two Linux/SteamOS ports were released. This talk will cover the learnings of one year of porting work from a programmer's point of view: DOs and DON'Ts and issues both expected and unexpected.
Why kernelspace sucks?
The document discusses issues with the kernel-userspace interface in Linux. It summarizes Dave Jones' 2006 paper "Why Userspace Sucks" which found userspace programs perform unnecessary operations like frequent file opens and stats that hurt performance. The document then questions two myths: that kernel programmers always get interfaces right, and that code is the best way to contribute to free software. It argues kernel APIs are difficult to fix once released and provides examples where Linux APIs were buggy, inconsistent, not futureproofed or extensible enough. The document advocates for better upfront design, testing and learning from past mistakes to improve the kernel-userspace interface.
Building a continuous delivery platform for the biggest spike in e-commerce -...
Gilt uses Puppet for configuration management across its infrastructure. It has around 1000 Puppet modules and uses tools like Puppetmaster, Puppet Dashboard, and an in-house External Node Classifier called Mothership.

Modules of the twenties
- The document discusses various patterns and techniques the author has found useful when working with Puppet modules over 10+ years, including some that may be considered unorthodox or anti-patterns by some.
- Key topics covered include optimization of reusable modules, custom data types, Bolt tasks and plans, external facts, Hiera classification, ensuring resources for presence/absence, application abstraction with Tiny Puppet, and class-based noop management.
- The author argues that some established patterns like roles and profiles can evolve to be more flexible, and that running production nodes in noop mode with controls may be preferable to fully enforcing on all nodes.
Applying Roles and Profiles method to compliance code
This document discusses adapting the roles and profiles design pattern to writing compliance code in Puppet modules. It begins by noting the challenges of writing compliance code, such as it touching many parts of nodes and leading to sprawling code. It then provides an overview of the roles and profiles pattern, which uses simple "front-end" roles/interfaces and more complex "back-end" profiles/implementations. The rest of the document discusses how to apply this pattern when authoring Puppet modules for compliance - including creating interface and implementation classes, using Hiera for configuration, and tools for reducing boilerplate code. It aims to provide a maintainable structure and simplify adapting to new compliance frameworks or requirements.
KGI compliance as-code approach
This document discusses Kinney Group's Puppet compliance framework for automating STIG compliance and reporting. It notes that customers often implement compliance Puppet code poorly or lack appropriate Puppet knowledge. The framework aims to standardize compliance modules that are data-driven and customizable. It addresses challenges like conflicting modules and keeping compliance current after implementation. The framework generates automated STIG checklists and plans future integration with Puppet Enterprise and Splunk for continued compliance reporting. Kinney Group cites practical experience implementing the framework for various military and government customers.
Enforce compliance policy with model-driven automation
This document discusses model-driven automation for enforcing compliance. It begins with an overview of compliance benchmarks and the CIS benchmarks. It then discusses implementing benchmarks, common challenges around configuration drift and lack of visibility, and how to define compliance policy as code. The key points are that automation is essential for compliance at scale; a model-driven approach defines how a system should be configured and uses desired-state enforcement to keep systems compliant; and defining compliance policy as code, managing it with source control, and automating it with CI/CD helps achieve continuous compliance.
Keynote: Puppet camp compliance
This document discusses how organizations can move from a reactive approach to compliance to a proactive approach using automation. It notes that over 50% of CIOs cite security and compliance as a barrier to IT modernization. Puppet offers an end-to-end compliance solution that allows organizations to automatically eliminate configuration drift, enforce compliance at scale across operating systems and environments, and define policy as code. The solution helps organizations improve compliance from 50% to over 90% compliant. The document argues that taking a proactive automation approach to compliance can turn it into a competitive advantage by improving speed and innovation.
Automating it management with Puppet + ServiceNow
As the leading IT Service Management and IT Operations Management platform in the marketplace, ServiceNow is used by many organizations to address everything from self service IT requests to Change, Incident and Problem Management. The strength of the platform is in the workflows and processes that are built around the shared data model, represented in the CMDB. This provides the ‘single source of truth’ for the organization.
Puppet Enterprise is a leading automation platform focused on the IT Configuration Management and Compliance space. Puppet Enterprise has a unique perspective on the state of systems being managed, constantly being updated and kept accurate as part of the regular Puppet operation. Puppet Enterprise is the automation engine ensuring that the environment stays consistent and in compliance.
In this webinar, we will explore how to maximize the value of both solutions, with Puppet Enterprise automating the actions required to drive a change, and ServiceNow governing the process around that change, from definition to approval. We will introduce and demonstrate several published integration points between the two solutions, in the areas of Self-Service Infrastructure, Enriched Change Management and Automated Incident Registration.
Puppet: The best way to harden Windows

Accelerating azure adoption with puppet
The document discusses how Puppet can be used to accelerate adoption of Microsoft Azure. It describes lift and shift migration of on-premises workloads to Azure virtual machines. It also covers infrastructure as code using Puppet and Terraform for provisioning, configuration management using Puppet Bolt, and implementing immutable infrastructure patterns on Azure. Integrations with Azure services like Key Vault, Blob Storage and metadata service are presented. Patch management and inventory of Azure resources with Puppet are also summarized.
Puppet catalog Diff; Raphael Pinson
This document discusses using Puppet Catalog Diff to analyze the impact of changes between Puppet environments or catalogs. It provides the command line usage and options for Puppet Catalog Diff. It also discusses how to integrate Puppet Catalog Diff into CI/CD pipelines for automated impact analysis when merging code changes. Additional resources like GitHub projects and Dev.to posts are provided for learning more about diffing Puppet environments and catalogs.
ServiceNow and Puppet- better together, Kevin Reeuwijk
ServiceNow and Puppet can be integrated in four key areas: 1) Self-service infrastructure allows non-Puppet experts to control infrastructure through a ServiceNow interface; 2) Enriched change management automatically generates ServiceNow change requests from Puppet changes and populates them with impact details; 3) Automated incident registration forwards details of configuration drift corrections in Puppet to ServiceNow to create incidents; and 4) Up-to-date asset management would periodically upload Puppet inventory data to ServiceNow to keep the CMDB accurate without disruptive discovery runs.
Take control of your dev ops dumping ground
This document discusses how Puppet Relay uses Tekton pipelines to orchestrate containerized workflows. It provides an overview of how Tekton fits into the Relay architecture, with Tekton controllers managing taskrun pods to execute workflow steps defined in YAML. Triggers can initiate workflows based on events, with reusable and composable steps for tasks like provisioning infrastructure or clearing resources. Relay also includes features for parameters, secrets, outputs, and approvals to customize workflows. An ecosystem of open source integrations provides sample workflows and steps for common use cases.
100% Puppet Cloud Deployment of Legacy Software
This document discusses deploying legacy software into the AWS cloud using Puppet. It proposes modeling AWS resources like security groups, autoscaling groups, and launch configurations as Puppet resources. This would allow Puppet to provision the underlying AWS infrastructure and configure servers launched in autoscaling groups. It acknowledges challenges around server reboots but suggests they can be addressed. In summary, it argues custom Puppet resources can easily model AWS resources and using Puppet to configure autoscaling servers is possible despite some challenges around rebooting servers during deployment.
Puppet User Group
This document discusses a partnership between Republic Polytechnic's School of Infocomm and Puppet to promote DevOps practices. It introduces several people involved with the partnership and outlines their mission to prepare more IT companies and individuals for jobs in the DevOps field through training courses. The document describes some short courses offered on DevOps topics and using the Puppet and Microsoft Azure platforms. It provides an example of how Republic Polytechnic has automated infrastructure configuration using Puppet to save time and reduce errors. There is a request at the end for readers to register their interest in DevOps by completing a survey.
Continuous Compliance and DevSecOps
This document discusses continuous compliance and DevSecOps best practices followed by financial services organizations.
Continuous compliance is defined as an ongoing process of proactive risk management that delivers predictable, transparent, and cost-effective compliance results. It involves continuously monitoring compliance controls, providing real-time alerts for failures and remediation recommendations, and maintaining up-to-date policies. Best practices for continuous compliance discussed include defining CIS controls and benchmarks, achieving transparent compliance dashboards and automated fixes for breaches.
DevSecOps is introduced as bringing security earlier in the application development lifecycle to minimize vulnerabilities. It aims to make everyone accountable for security. Challenges discussed include security teams struggling to keep up with DevOps pace and
The Dynamic Duo of Puppet and Vault tame SSL Certificates, Nick Maludy
The document discusses using Puppet and Vault together to dynamically manage SSL certificates. Puppet can use the vault_cert resource to request signed certificates from Vault and configure services to use the certificates. On Windows, some additional logic is needed to retrieve certificates' thumbprints and bind services to certificates using those thumbprints. This approach provides automated certificate renewal and distribution across platforms.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex Proofs
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Beginner's Thoughts on Making Puppet Modules - David Klann - PuppetCamp Chicago '12
- 1. On the Journey to Puppeteering Puppet noob, but a seasoned sysadmin ● UNIX internals developer (compiler, packaging, drivers) ● Software project manager and sysadmin ● Networking: ThickNet Ethernet Coax ● Enterprise network design, manage, security ● etc. ...
- 2. On the Journey to Config Automation ● Why config management? – small operation – scripts and version control (mostly) just fine – what are the issues we're trying to solve?
- 3. Why Puppet ● Standardization ● Community Support ● Puppet Labs' Apparent Commitment to Free Software and the Open Source model ● Architecture
- 4. Bumps in the Road ● Community Puppet – Puppet DSL: alien language (Rails déjà vu) – frequent Puppet releases caused breakage – packaging
- 5. Fixing Potholes ● Puppet Enterprise – packaging: solved – update breakage: solved – DSL: not solved, but getting used to it
- 6. Intro to Puppet Modules ● What's to Like – consistent view – consistent interface – separation of data and logic
- 7. Intro to Puppet Modules ● What's to Despise – bugs – useless error messages – pe_accounts: huh?
- 8. Puppet Mastery ● Goal: a series of modules to manage ISP services (NTP, SNMP, postfix, dovecot, RADIUS, etc.) – stand-alone modules? – how to integrate? e.g., /etc/sysconfig/iptables: stand-alone? as part of another module?
