Preface

Puppet is a configuration management tool that allows you to automate all your IT configurations, giving you control over what you do with each Puppet agent in a network, and when and how you do it. In this age of digital delivery and ubiquitous internet presence, it's becoming increasingly important to implement scalable and portable solutions, not only in terms of software but also the system that runs it.

This book aims to impart knowledge required to tap into not only the basics of Puppet, but also its core. The very basic ideas and principles of Puppet-based designs are explored and explained in this book. A sophisticated tool is presented to enable efficient and productive use.
