Detailed Description:

A revolution is happening in web operations. Configuration management tools can build servers in seconds, and automate your entire network. Tools like Puppet are essential to taking full advantage of the power of cloud computing, and building reliable, scalable, secure, high-performance systems. More and more systems administration and IT jobs require some knowledge of configuration management, and specifically Puppet.

"Puppet 3 Cookbook" takes you beyond the basics to explore the full power of Puppet, showing you in detail how to tackle a variety of real-world problems and applications. At every step it shows you exactly what commands you need to type, and includes full code samples for every recipe.

The book takes the reader from a basic knowledge of Puppet to a complete and expert understanding of Puppet’s latest and most advanced features, community best practices, writing great manifests, scaling and performance, and extending Puppet by adding your own providers and resources. It starts with guidance on how to set up and expand your Puppet infrastructure, then progresses through detailed information on the language and features, external tools, reporting, monitoring, and troubleshooting, and concludes with many specific recipes for managing popular applications.

The book includes real examples from production systems and techniques that are in use in some of the world’s largest Puppet installations, including a distributed Puppet architecture based on the Git version control system. You’ll be introduced to powerful tools that work with Puppet such as Hiera. The book also explains managing Ruby applications and MySQL databases, building web servers, load balancers, high-availability systems with Heartbeat, and many other state-of-the-art techniques

Errata:

Errata type: Technical | Page number: 20 The recipe "Running Puppet from cron" in Chapter 1, Puppet Infrastructure: Step 2 of the instructions in the "How to do it" section reads: 2. Keep the private key file somewhere separate from your Puppet repo (you'll distribute this via some other channel to machines which need to check out the repo). This should actually read: 2. Move the private key file into your puppet module: ubuntu@cookbook:~/puppet$ mv ubuntu modules/puppet/files/ubuntu.priv

Errata type: Technical | Page number: 17 and 18

The recipe "Writing a papply script" in Chapter 1, Puppet Infrastructure:

In the "How it works" section on page 17 (once) and 18 (twice):

"puppet apply manifests/nodes.pp" should be "puppet apply manifests/sites.pp".

Errata type: Code | Page number: 20 and 22 In the "How to do it..." section, ensure => 'present' should be <div>ensure => present</div>

Errata type: Technical | Page no: 54 The IPv4 address should be a class C address instead of class A (10.96.247.132). A better example address would be 192.168.0.1. Though it makes no difference for the purposes of the demonstration.
