I've worked within many large organizations that use puppet sowWhat you will learn in this course directly relates to how puppet is used in the real world

The infrastructure setup for this course will be completed using Vagrant on your laptop. We will start by creating a standalone puppet 4.0 master, followed by 3 other vagrant Ubuntu 16.04 servers. We'll also install Virtual-box (to create the vagrant VMs) and Git so we can clone from github.

You will install and setup a Puppet 4.0 master and become familiar with the main differences between puppet 3.* and puppet 4.0. You will control server infrastructure by writing basic puppet modules. I will introduce you to Hiera, a powerful part of puppet that lets you run specific code on specific servers within your estate. You will create custom facts that can be used within hiera and your puppet code and I'll show you the benefits of using Roles and Profiles within the puppet master to manage how your modules are used on each host.

Once you complete this course, you will have a greater understanding of puppet 4.0 and how to use all it's different parts to give you a powerful configuration management tool.
