This course presents the system management and configuration tool known as Puppet, from methods, techniques, capabilities to implementation. Each participant will learn how to install the Puppet master and agent (client) applications along with the impact on the Linux system. A lot of time and attention will be spent in learning, writing, and applying resource definitions, the key part of Puppet that allows an administrator to synchronize environments easily and uniformly.
