Bolt Dynamic Inventory: Making Puppet Easier
0 likes4 views
This talk illustrates how we setup our own local dynamic Bolt inventory plugins to help with our automated Puppet development and testing. It's very common for developers to code and test their applications on VMs, either locally hosted or on the cloud. As individuals have editor preferences (nvim, vscode, etc), so they have hypervisor. Once you create a Bolt inventory file listing the server or servers, then Bolt can easily configure those servers using custom Puppet code. Instead of manually creating the Bolt inventory, it is easy to create a dynamic inventory plugin — if it doesn't already exist — to suit your particular use case.

Puppet camp2021 testing modules and controlrepo
Puppet camp2021 testing modules and controlrepoPuppet This document discusses testing Puppet code when using modules versus a control repository. It recommends starting with simple syntax and unit tests using PDK or rspec-puppet for modules, and using OnceOver for testing control repositories, as it is specially designed for this purpose. OnceOver allows defining classes, nodes, and a test matrix to run syntax, unit, and acceptance tests across different configurations. Moving from simple to more complex testing approaches like acceptance tests is suggested. PDK and OnceOver both have limitations for testing across operating systems that may require customizing spec tests. Infrastructure for running acceptance tests in VMs or containers is also discussed.

Modules of the twenties
Modules of the twentiesPuppet - The document discusses various patterns and techniques the author has found useful when working with Puppet modules over 10+ years, including some that may be considered unorthodox or anti-patterns by some.
- Key topics covered include optimization of reusable modules, custom data types, Bolt tasks and plans, external facts, Hiera classification, ensuring resources for presence/absence, application abstraction with Tiny Puppet, and class-based noop management.
- The author argues that some established patterns like roles and profiles can evolve to be more flexible, and that running production nodes in noop mode with controls may be preferable to fully enforcing on all nodes.
Applying Roles and Profiles method to compliance code
Applying Roles and Profiles method to compliance codePuppet This document discusses adapting the roles and profiles design pattern to writing compliance code in Puppet modules. It begins by noting the challenges of writing compliance code, such as it touching many parts of nodes and leading to sprawling code. It then provides an overview of the roles and profiles pattern, which uses simple "front-end" roles/interfaces and more complex "back-end" profiles/implementations. The rest of the document discusses how to apply this pattern when authoring Puppet modules for compliance - including creating interface and implementation classes, using Hiera for configuration, and tools for reducing boilerplate code. It aims to provide a maintainable structure and simplify adapting to new compliance frameworks or requirements.

KGI compliance as-code approachPuppet This document discusses Kinney Group's Puppet compliance framework for automating STIG compliance and reporting. It notes that customers often implement compliance Puppet code poorly or lack appropriate Puppet knowledge. The framework aims to standardize compliance modules that are data-driven and customizable. It addresses challenges like conflicting modules and keeping compliance current after implementation. The framework generates automated STIG checklists and plans future integration with Puppet Enterprise and Splunk for continued compliance reporting. Kinney Group cites practical experience implementing the framework for various military and government customers.
Enforce compliance policy with model-driven automation
Enforce compliance policy with model-driven automationPuppet This document discusses model-driven automation for enforcing compliance. It begins with an overview of compliance benchmarks and the CIS benchmarks. It then discusses implementing benchmarks, common challenges around configuration drift and lack of visibility, and how to define compliance policy as code. The key points are that automation is essential for compliance at scale; a model-driven approach defines how a system should be configured and uses desired-state enforcement to keep systems compliant; and defining compliance policy as code, managing it with source control, and automating it with CI/CD helps achieve continuous compliance.
Keynote: Puppet camp compliance
Keynote: Puppet camp compliancePuppet This document discusses how organizations can move from a reactive approach to compliance to a proactive approach using automation. It notes that over 50% of CIOs cite security and compliance as a barrier to IT modernization. Puppet offers an end-to-end compliance solution that allows organizations to automatically eliminate configuration drift, enforce compliance at scale across operating systems and environments, and define policy as code. The solution helps organizations improve compliance from 50% to over 90% compliant. The document argues that taking a proactive automation approach to compliance can turn it into a competitive advantage by improving speed and innovation.
Automating it management with Puppet + ServiceNow
Automating it management with Puppet + ServiceNowPuppet As the leading IT Service Management and IT Operations Management platform in the marketplace, ServiceNow is used by many organizations to address everything from self service IT requests to Change, Incident and Problem Management.

Is AI just another technology, or does it fundamentally change the way we live and think?
Every technology has a direct impact with micro-ethical consequences, some good, some bad. However more profound are the ways in which some technologies reshape the very fabric of society with macro-ethical impacts. The invention of the stirrup revolutionised mounted combat, but as a side effect gave rise to the feudal system, which still shapes politics today. The internal combustion engine offers personal freedom and creates pollution, but has also transformed the nature of urban planning and international trade. When we look at AI the micro-ethical issues, such as bias, are most obvious, but the macro-ethical challenges may be greater.
At a micro-ethical level AI has the potential to deepen social, ethnic and gender bias, issues I have warned about since the early 1990s! It is also being used increasingly on the battlefield. However, it also offers amazing opportunities in health and educations, as the recent Nobel prizes for the developers of AlphaFold illustrate. More radically, the need to encode ethics acts as a mirror to surface essential ethical problems and conflicts.
At the macro-ethical level, by the early 2000s digital technology had already begun to undermine sovereignty (e.g. gambling), market economics (through network effects and emergent monopolies), and the very meaning of money. Modern AI is the child of big data, big computation and ultimately big business, intensifying the inherent tendency of digital technology to concentrate power. AI is already unravelling the fundamentals of the social, political and economic world around us, but this is a world that needs radical reimagining to overcome the global environmental and human challenges that confront us. Our challenge is whether to let the threads fall as they may, or to use them to weave a better future.

Noah Loul Shares 5 Steps to Implement AI Agents for Maximum Business Efficien...Noah Loul Artificial intelligence is changing how businesses operate. Companies are using AI agents to automate tasks, reduce time spent on repetitive work, and focus more on high-value activities. Noah Loul, an AI strategist and entrepreneur, has helped dozens of companies streamline their operations using smart automation. He believes AI agents aren't just tools—they're workers that take on repeatable tasks so your human team can focus on what matters. If you want to reduce time waste and increase output, AI agents are the next move.

DevOpsDays Atlanta 2025 - Building 10x Development Organizations.pptxJustin Reock Building 10x Organizations with Modern Productivity Metrics
10x developers may be a myth, but 10x organizations are very real, as proven by the influential study performed in the 1980s, ‘The Coding War Games.’
Right now, here in early 2025, we seem to be experiencing YAPP (Yet Another Productivity Philosophy), and that philosophy is converging on developer experience. It seems that with every new method we invent for the delivery of products, whether physical or virtual, we reinvent productivity philosophies to go alongside them.
But which of these approaches actually work? DORA? SPACE? DevEx? What should we invest in and create urgency behind today, so that we don’t find ourselves having the same discussion again in a decade?

HCL Nomad Web wird als die nächste Generation des HCL Notes-Clients gefeiert und bietet zahlreiche Vorteile, wie die Beseitigung des Bedarfs an Paketierung, Verteilung und Installation. Nomad Web-Client-Updates werden “automatisch” im Hintergrund installiert, was den administrativen Aufwand im Vergleich zu traditionellen HCL Notes-Clients erheblich reduziert. Allerdings stellt die Fehlerbehebung in Nomad Web im Vergleich zum Notes-Client einzigartige Herausforderungen dar.
Begleiten Sie Christoph und Marc, während sie demonstrieren, wie der Fehlerbehebungsprozess in HCL Nomad Web vereinfacht werden kann, um eine reibungslose und effiziente Benutzererfahrung zu gewährleisten.
In diesem Webinar werden wir effektive Strategien zur Diagnose und Lösung häufiger Probleme in HCL Nomad Web untersuchen, einschließlich
- Zugriff auf die Konsole
- Auffinden und Interpretieren von Protokolldateien
- Zugriff auf den Datenordner im Cache des Browsers (unter Verwendung von OPFS)
- Verständnis der Unterschiede zwischen Einzel- und Mehrbenutzerszenarien
- Nutzung der Client Clocking-Funktion
