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