The Future of Puppet - What a<br>
Model-Driven Infrastructure Means to You<br>
<br>
Please join us on February 17th, 2010 for a special guest, Luke Kaines, the<br>
founder of the Puppet Project.<br>
<br>
This talk will have a general focus on the future of Puppet, and will<br>
particularly delve into how Puppet's model of the world will be used to<br>
drive new tools and capabilities. While Puppet is obviously about<br>
configuring your infrastructure, the fact that it uses declarative models<br>
rather than merely relying on chunks of opaque code is critical to both how<br>
we got here and where we go in the future.<br>
<br>
This year will be the year of data for Puppet. For example, its most<br>
recent major release provided the means to address a host's compiled<br>
configuration as a separate, manageable entity, meaning it can be stored,<br>
controlled, and validated at will. The next full release will have<br>
granular event reporting, with correspondingly greater ability to correlate<br>
configurations to the resulting changes.<br>
<br>
Each successive release thereafter will further expose the data that lies<br>
at the heart of a Puppet infrastructure. This talk will discuss some of<br>
the kinds of data we'll be bringing to the forefront of your Puppet<br>
infrastructure, along with how you can take advantage of it and how it will<br>
change your view of the world.<br>
