Infrastructure-as-Code with Puppet Enterprise in the Cloud - PuppetConf 2014
3 likes1,900 views
Evan Scheessele of HP presented on using Puppet Enterprise to manage infrastructure as code in the cloud. He discussed how HP moved applications to the cloud and used Puppet to automate configuration of over 450 resources across servers, databases, load balancers and networks. Puppet Enterprise provided benefits like centralized monitoring, encryption of sensitive data, and role-based access controls. It allowed HP to scale their portfolio from 1 to 2 clouds and 3 to 17 applications while improving structure, portability and change management of their Puppet code.

Puppet Core Benefits (we use PE 3.3)
PuppetDB and its APIs – the org’s home-grown Dashboard: whole portfolio view
Puppet Console (PE):
Node status-tracking
Rake API for classification
Rake API for CA work: white-list, no auto-signing!
Hiera by environment (Integration, Master)
+ hiera-eyaml: A backend for Hiera that provides per-value
asymmetric encryption of sensitive data
+ further abstraction to our self-service “Service Directory”
