Re: [Dev] Getting started with Puppet
Here are some blog posts I have written when I was doing some puppet related deployment. http://soatutorials.blogspot.com/2013/11/how-puppet-works-in-your-it.html http://soatutorials.blogspot.com/2013/12/installing-puppet-on-red-hat-linux.html http://soatutorials.blogspot.com/2013/12/how-to-deploy-your-wso2-server-in-1.html Thanks, Chanaka On Wed, Dec 10, 2014 at 11:59 AM, Chamila De Alwis chami...@wso2.com wrote: Hi Michael, Puppet takes less time to get familiar to, so I think you will be able to get around the language syntax quickly by following the resources Thilina provided.
