This document summarizes a presentation about automating infrastructure toolchains. It discusses: 1) Moving fast without breaking things in highly regulated large enterprises through speed without risk, end-to-end automation that is practitioner specific, collaboration enabled, and enterprise scaled. 2) The presenter, Darryl Bowler, solutions architect at Serena Software, Inc. 3) The differences between system configuration management versus workflow driven automation, including benefits like idempotency but challenges around complex orchestration and limited collaboration.

Agenda
• Why automate infrastructure management
– How it fits in the toolchain
– System configuration management vs deployment automation
• Toolchain lifecycles with Docker & Puppet
– Automating the workflows
• Production Demonstration
– Automating the end-to-end lifecycle

7. 7
• Define automation via code versus designing a workflow
• Converge state versus Orchestration
• Idempotency versus “push button run-once deployments”
• Pros
– Idempotency
– Apply discipline of software configuration management
– Bridge gap between SW Devs and System admins
• Cons
– Difficult to orchestrate complex deployments
– Technically complex
– Limited collaboration

– The affiliation of a system (node)
• Web, database, application
• Types of node groups
– Environment groups (production, stage)
– Classification group (apache, Jboss)
• Puppet code (classes) assigned to classification
