"Luke Kanies spent some time as a system administrator. That job
36 1
can have its own tedium -- keeping machines up to date, building
37 1
new machines, and managing dozens to thousands of individual
38 1
configurations. Clever administrators automate."

"The Puppet project allows you to issue system administration
49 1
commands to one or more machines, and will smooth over the
50 1
differences between distributions for you. For example, if you want
51 1
to install MySQL, that action should be your primary aim, and you
52 1
shouldn't have to worry about if the machine is running Maemo,
53 1
Ubuntu, or Fedora."

"No this post isn’t about the Metallica album, it’s about the
64 1
provisioning system we use named Puppet. It allows us to automate
65 1
many of the system administration tasks, to a level that was
66 1
previously very costly or hard to do."

"I recently talked with Reductive Lab’s Luke Kaines and Google’s
77 1
Nigel Kersten on the topic of Puppet. First, we go through a quick

overview of what Puppet does - establishing the desired
79 1
configuration of machines by modeling services and then enforcing
80 1
that model."

"Until the late 18th century, craftsmen were a primary source of
91 6 Laura Calhoun
production. With specialized skills, a craftsman’s economic
92 1
contribution was a function of personal quantity and quality, and a
93 1
skilled artisan often found it undesirable, if not impossible, to
94 1
duplicate previous work with accuracy. Plus, there is a limit to
95 1
how much a skilled craftsman can do in one day. Scaling up the
96 1
quantity of crafted goods to meet increased demand was a question
97 6 Laura Calhoun
of working more or adding more bodies — both of which potentially
98 1
sacrificed quality and consistency."

will delve into using cloud computing techniques to manage your own

Puppet automation system from Reductive Labs. Puppet is built upon
112 1
the legacy of the venerable Cfengine system, but takes things to a

# Expert Q&A: Simplifying configuration management with Puppet

"Systems administrators have to live with the fact that
125 1
"configuration management is hard," says James Turnbull, author of
126 1
the new book Pulling Strings with Puppet. When this task is done,
127 1
it is often done ad hoc; administrators resort to using a "for"
128 1
loop and SSH scripts. They may also go with a commercial offering,
129 1
but this option brings its own challenges. Commercial products are
130 1
often monolithic and hard to use, configure, learn and manage.
131 1
132 1
In his book and in this interview, Turnbull describes how to use
133 1
Puppet and the broader principles of configuration management,
134 1
particularly when managing multiple systems."
