and platforms.

Cloud Operations

Manage the health, risk, efficiency and compliance of your infrastructure and

applications.

Cloud Business

Govern and manage cloud services as a critical element of running IT like a

business.

Policy-based

automation

Unified management

Financial

transparency

Industry norms

Prescriptive guidance

Automate everywhere

Policy-based control

and governance

Choice and flexibility

The Problem

• Poor alignment with the business

• Lack flexibility with existing tools

• Prioritizing requests, increasing

backlog

Business Impact

• Service delivery times too long

• Lack of choice for consumers

• Unrealized savings from existing

investments

• Negative perception of IT

• IT not lined up with priority projects

• Inconsistent manual processes across

business units

• Lack of governance, control and visibility

• Silos of automation & increasing # of

IT specialists

1. Define the desired state of the

infrastructure's configuration using

Puppet's declarative language.

2. Simulate configuration changes

before enforcing them.

3. Enforce the deployed desired state automatically, correcting any configuration drift.

4. Report on differences

between actual and desired

states, and any changes made enforcing the desired state.

Iterate & Increase Automation Coverage

of nodes, phased by user-defined time

periods

Puppet is Declarative

file { '/etc/sudoers': ensure => file, owner => root, group => root, mode => 440, }

27

Puppet is Idempotent

# puppet apply nigel_user.pp

notice: /Stage[main]//User[nigel]/ensure: created

notice: Finished catalog run in 0.05 seconds

# puppet apply nigel_user.pp

notice: Finished catalog run in 0.03 seconds

#

28

Puppet has a Resource Abstraction Layer

# puppet resource user nigel user { 'nigel': ensure => 'present', uid => '1004', gid => '1004', home => '/home/nigel', password => '!', shell => '/bin/sh', }

29

Puppet has useful abstractions

package { 'sshd': ensure => installed, } service { 'ssh': ensure => running, enabled => true, } user { 'nigel': ensure => absent, }

30

Puppet has more useful abstractions

postgresql::db { 'my_database_name':

user => 'my_database_user',

password => 'my_password'

}

postgresql::database_grant { 'test1':

privilege => 'ALL',

db => ’my_database_name',

role => ’helpdesk',

}

firewall { '002 accept related established':

proto => 'all',

state => ['RELATED', 'ESTABLISHED'],

action => 'accept',

}

31

Puppet models your infrastructure package { 'sshd': ensure => installed, } service { 'ssh': ensure => running, enabled => true, require => Package[sshd], } file { 'sshd_config': ensure => file, content => puppet:///ssh/sshd_config, notify => Service[ssh], }
