This document outlines a presentation about an organization's initial efforts using Puppet Enterprise, including implementing roles and profiles and adoption challenges. It describes three parts of the presentation: 1) protecting infrastructure with Puppet, 2) stumbling blocks faced during adoption like complex scripts, and 3) how newer Puppet Enterprise consoles make management easier. The presentation aims to help attendees feel more comfortable allowing the console to manage infrastructure and understand code-based methodologies.

How-to information will be relegated to linked github
repositories to minimize the chances of demofail.
Attendees should expect to leave this talk being more
comfortable allowing the Puppet Enterprise console to
manage their infrastructure, and with some broad
understanding of entirely code-based multi-repository
methodologies incorporating PE.
