| 35 | 1 | "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." |

| 48 | 1 | "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." |

|

|
| 80 | 1 | that model." |

|
| 90 | 1 | "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." |

|
| 124 | 1 | "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." |
