This will be pretty common ground for those of you that attended the NYCBUG puppet preso, but figured I'd post in case anyone missed the original meeting. (I know of at least one person who did, and wanted to know if the preso was going to be gien again.)<br>

Puppet: What it is and how can it make system administration less<br>
painful<br>
** Please note important information about: this meeting **<br>
<br>
Please join us on Wednesday, November 18th, 2009 for a discussion<br>
of Reductive Labs' Centralized configuration management framework,<br>
Puppet.<br>
<br>
Puppet is a model-driven open source framework designed to<br>
efficiently manage data center infrastructure. It's the sysadmin's<br>
best friend, reducing error counts and downtime, saving countless<br>
hours and providing significantly higher service quality. Puppet lets<br>
sysadmins spend less time on mundane tasks and instead focus on<br>
managing their infrastructure as a whole.<br>
<br>
System administrators have long written custom scripts and tools<br>
to help automate common tasks such as configuration management and<br>
system updates. But as networks scale and reach outside the corporate<br>
firewall, custom tools become yet another management headache.<br>
<br>
The benefits of automated infrastructure go beyond policy-enforced<br>
consistency and auditing. In conjunction with virtualizaton, the<br>
ability to reliably create new systems running consistent services<br>
creates auto-scaling applications as well as test systems identical to<br>
production environments.<br>
<br>
Puppet abstracts the system from the system administration,<br>
providing developers and system administrators with a simple service-<br>
based policy framework that allows for more consistent, transparent<br>
and flexible systems.<br>
<br>
Puppet is currently in use at many organizations, large and small,<br>
including: Google, Yahoo, and RedHat.<br>
