As web site developers, you will find yourself managing more and more web-severs as time goes on. Eventually, managing one server at a time becomes tedious and leaves room for error. Puppet and Chef are open-source configuration management tools that will allow you to configure your server programmatically and help keep your sysadmin time to a minimal.

Agenda:

  • When should you consider using an configuration management tool?
  • An overview of how they work
  • Puppet overview including setup and sample config files.
  • Chef overview including setup and sample config files.
  • Puppet or Chef demo.

Format: 35min talk, 15min demo, 10min Q&A
