- 2. 2# Puppet and RightScale • Is a primary developer of Puppet • Licenses a commercial version Puppet Enterprise • Provides support, training, certification, and a community • Puppet Enterprise ServerTemplates in development Talk with the Experts.
- 3. 3# Using Puppet and RightScale Talk with the Experts.
- 4. 4# Why use Puppet? • Simple OS abstraction • Same language to manage different resources (packages, resources users, files) across operating systems • Modularity • Puppet Module Forge with 375 public modules for use • Module configurations are broken down into Manifests, which can be reused across different roles • Executable Documentation • Puppet is your executable documentation • Use for compliance, audits, and knowledge management • Infrastructure as Code • Use external repositories to store and version Manifests Talk with the Experts.
- 5. 5# Puppet Constructs Domain specific language Manifest • Specific bits of Puppet code Module • Combination of Manifests which take on a server role Node • A physical or virtual server configured with one or many modules Talk with the Experts.
- 6. 6# Model-Driven Configuration • Define a desired state • Simulate changes • Enforce changes • Report on changes and remediate Talk with the Experts.
- 7. 7# Client / Server Model • Facter polls the node to understand its state (Facts) • Master develops a Catalog of how the node should configure • Node executes the Catalog and reports to the Master Talk with the Experts.
- 8. 8# Example Manifest PostgreSQL Server class Main package and service Main configuration file Talk with the Experts.
- 9. 9# RightScale With Puppet Cloud configuration Governance • Provision and port Puppet • Manage access and security configurations across public • Track usage and private clouds with • Audit actions Server Templates™ Deployments Automation • Manage Puppet-configured • Monitor and trigger actions servers in logical clusters • Auto-scale using Puppet to reproduce your configurations • Run operational tasks using RightScripts or Puppet Manifests Talk with the Experts.
- 10. 10# Using ServerTemplates and Puppet RightScripts can be used for backups, log rotation, and more Puppet configures the server with the desired modules and settings ServerTemplates include variable inputs for Modules and the Puppet Master address ServerTemplates provide portability across public and private clouds, with a thin OS, RightLink, and RightScale utility scripts Talk with the Experts.
- 11. 11# So How Do I Get Started? 1. Create a Puppet Master and Puppet Client ServerTemplate. 2. Create a new deployment for your Puppet servers. 3. Launch a server using the Puppet Master ServerTemplate. 4. Once the Master is operational, launch a server using the Puppet Client ServerTemplate. 5. You now have a Puppet Master-Client environment that can be monitored, scaled, and automated using RightScale. Talk with the Experts.

Everything else in Puppet. • We NEVER recycle a hostname. We add the instance-ID so that we guarantee the hostnames are unique, and we'll never ever have a certificate mismatch.

- Server Templates “complement” Inputs for Modules and Puppet Master Address
- How does the PUPPET node get authenticated ? (Question for Matt)
- Now that we go to launch the server, RightScale asks for more inputs. We have two-scripts that are not puppet specific but are actually cloud specific (load balancer, and the mount-volume one). These are not managed by Puppet because they are cloud-specific and would not work in other cloud providers. The Puppet-options are interesting here. We have some default node types that are available for anyone to choose from, or they can override the list and select one that they've built. The additional_facts are a SPACE separated list of key=value pairs that will turn into Puppet Facts.
- We use the 'unique_cname' fact to register a human-remember-able hostname for servers that are relatively unique. Tools, DBs, etc. We do not do this for servers that we have in farms (frontends, tileservers, celery workers, etc).Puppet solves the issue of inheritance with small # of SERVER TEMPLATES (Using Puppet to configure itself)
