This practical guide shows you what Puppet does, how it works, and how it can provide significant value to your organization.

Through hands-on tutorials, I demonstrate how to use Puppet to manage complex and distributed components to ensure service availability. You’ll learn how to secure configuration consistency across servers, clients, your router, and even that computer in your pocket by setting up your own testing environment.
