Course Description

Basic Training

This training is ideal for those who want a Puppet jumpstart. Newer members at an organization already using Puppet, or experienced sysadmins wanting to bring Puppet into their team will get everything they need to deploy solutions.

Prerequisites: Attendees should have at least the equivalent experience of a junior Unix/Linux administrator.

Topics covered include:

  • Configuring Puppet and Puppetmaster
  • Resource Types and the Resource Abstration Layer
  • Virtual Resources, Exported Resources and Stored Configs
  • Meta-parameters, Dependencies and Events
  • Classes, Modules and Definitions
  • Tags and Environments
  • Puppet Language Patterns and Best Practices

The topics are covered over 3 days. Sessions will mix theory and practice, balancing lectures with hands-on exercises. (Each student should bring a WiFi enabled laptop with VMWare or VirtualBox installed to participate in the labs. Contact for details)
