Heresy in the church of - Corey Quinn, Principal at The Quinn Advisory Group Outlyer
Docker (and by extension, microservices based architecture) has expanded our horizons with respect to how the industry builds and supports applications at scale. It’s changed the way we think about our code, what production looks like, and how we live. But in our rush to embrace this exciting new paradigm, are we throwing away the lessons of the past?
In this entertaining and somewhat irreverent talk, Corey presents the ”other side” of the containerization craze: how configuration management fits into a world consumed by the Docker Docker Docker madness, how ”containers all the way down” can let you down when you least expect it, and how promising technologies should perhaps be vetted a bit more thoroughly before you try to run critical services on top of them.
This document provides an overview of version control using git and GitHub. It explains that git is a distributed version control system that allows users to track changes to files and collaborate on projects. GitHub is a web-based hosting service for git repositories that provides additional features like a user interface, documentation, and pull requests. The document outlines how to install git, create a GitHub account, and covers key git concepts like commits, repositories, cloning, pulling, and pushing changes.
Building a Ruby gem involves generating a gem skeleton using the "bundle gem" command which sets up the necessary file structure including a Gemfile, README, Rakefile and gemspec. The code for the gem is added to the /lib folder following a test-driven development approach with tests added to the /spec folder. Once the gem is complete, it can be published to RubyGems.org by building the gemspec, adding credentials, and pushing the generated gem file.
This document provides an overview of installing Git and creating a GitHub account, as well as explaining some key concepts about version control with Git and GitHub. It discusses installing Git on Linux, Mac and Windows systems, creating a GitHub account, and what Git and GitHub are. Key Git concepts explained include snapshots, commits, repositories, branches, merging, and what a HEAD means in Git. GitHub is described as a website that hosts Git repositories and adds extra functionality for code collaboration.

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.
This document appears to be for a PuppetCamp 2021 presentation by Corey Osman of NWOPS, LLC. It includes information about Corey Osman and NWOPS, as well as sections on efficient development, presentation content, demo main points, Git strategies including single branch and environment branch strategies, and workflow improvements. Contact information is provided at the bottom.
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.
This document promotes Puppet as a tool for hardening Windows environments. It states that Puppet can be used to harden Windows with one line of code, detect drift from desired configurations, report on missing or changing requirements, reverse engineer existing configurations, secure IIS, and export configurations to the cloud. Benefits of Puppet mentioned include hardening Windows environments, finding drift for investigation, easily passing audits, compliance reporting, easy exceptions, and exporting configurations. It also directs users to Puppet Forge modules for securing Windows and IIS.

The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
