End to End Configuration Management with Puppet
This course will take you from a complete beginner to a confident Puppet user. The video will help you to install and set up Puppet and benefit from using Puppet as a configuration management tool for managing your remote servers. It will teach you how to write Puppet code using its Domain Specific Language (DSL) and then deal with big modules and manifests. You will then learn how to use different resource types available with Puppet, writing better manifests, handling dependencies, and using tags to gain more control with Puppet manifests. Then you'll take your knowledge to the next level by delving deep into concepts such as scaling the Puppet infrastructure, utilising storeconfigs with PuppetDB, and using different external node classifiers. You’ll then get your hands dirty by running Puppet components in Docker containers, using Puppet to create Docker images, and running applications on Docker along with orchestration using Mcollective. At the end of the course, you will learn how to write custom plugins for Puppet such as facts, resource types, providers, and functions.
