DevOps and automation go hand in hand. We automated each step from the source code to the hosting facility with GoCD and Docker. Even the build process is completely dockerized and can run everywhere. We do not only build Java artifacts anymore. Our deliverables at the end of the build process are Docker images. This allows us to be language-, technology- and platform-agnostic. The images which are generated are tested in the pipeline too. To accomplish this we spin up a smaller version of the production environment on the fly. As those infrastructure instances are ephemeral and dynamic, we use Consul as the service directory for this environment. We make no difference between test and production environments. When tests are completed successfully, the image is automatically deployed to the hosting facility. This strategy offers even more benefits. It's allows the developers to develop and test code in the production environment. This way of working improved and revolutionized the complete development-, build- and rollout-process.
We will show and talk about this process, how we got rid of properties, are hoster-agnostic and used the same images for development and production.

Form Follows Function: The Architecture of a Congruent OrganizationTechWell
One principle architects employ when designing buildings is "form follows function." That is, the layout of a building should be based upon its intended function. In software, the same principle helps us create an integrated design that focuses on fulfilling the intent of the system. Ken Pugh explores congruency-the state in which all actions work toward a common goal. For example, as Ken sees it, if you form and promote integrated teams of developers, testers, and business analysts, then personnel evaluations should be focused on team results rather than on each individual’s performance. If you embrace the principle of delivering business value as quickly as possible, the entire organization should focus on that goal and not the more typical 100% resource utilization objective. If you choose to have agile teams, then they should be co-located for easy communication, rather than scattered across buildings or the world. Ken describes how you can identify and manage these and other challenges to move toward congruency so that form truly does follow function.

Marrying Jenkins and Gerrit-Berlin Expert Days 2013Dharmesh Sheta
The document discusses marrying Gerrit and Jenkins to improve the code review process. Gerrit is a widely used Git server and code review tool. Jenkins is a popular open source continuous integration tool. By connecting Gerrit and Jenkins, developers can ensure code review requests meet quality standards before review by having Jenkins automatically build and test code changes and report the results in Gerrit. This allows code review to focus on design and avoids wasted time on requests that fail builds or tests. The document then demonstrates this workflow with Gerrit and Jenkins.
This document discusses key aspects of project management for information systems projects. It covers identifying business needs and creating a system request, performing a feasibility analysis, selecting projects, and creating work plans. It also discusses estimating project efforts, managing project scope and staffing, and using tools like work breakdown structures, Gantt charts, and network diagrams to plan and monitor projects. The overall aim is to develop systems that meet business needs on time and within budget.

Puppet camp2021 testing modules and controlrepoPuppet
This document discusses testing Puppet code when using modules versus a control repository. It recommends starting with simple syntax and unit tests using PDK or rspec-puppet for modules, and using OnceOver for testing control repositories, as it is specially designed for this purpose. OnceOver allows defining classes, nodes, and a test matrix to run syntax, unit, and acceptance tests across different configurations. Moving from simple to more complex testing approaches like acceptance tests is suggested. PDK and OnceOver both have limitations for testing across operating systems that may require customizing spec tests. Infrastructure for running acceptance tests in VMs or containers is also discussed.

The document discusses operational verification and how Puppet is working on a new module to provide more confidence in infrastructure health. It introduces the concept of adding check resources to catalogs to validate configurations and service health directly during Puppet runs. Examples are provided of how this could detect issues earlier than current methods. Next steps outlined include integrating checks into more resource types, fixing reporting, integrating into modules, and gathering feedback. This allows testing and monitoring to converge by embedding checks within configurations.
This document provides tips and tricks for using Puppet with VS Code, including links to settings examples and recommended extensions to install like Gitlens, Remote Development Pack, Puppet Extension, Ruby, YAML Extension, and PowerShell Extension. It also mentions there will be a demo.
- 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 codePuppet
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.
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 automationPuppet
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.
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 + ServiceNowPuppet
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.

ServiceNow and Puppet- better together, Kevin ReeuwijkPuppet
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.
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 SoftwarePuppet
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.

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 MaludyPuppet
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.
