Have you tried the docs on puppet? Anything lacking there that you are looking for video tutorials? My method of self training -- try it on a couple of VMs, post errors in the respective mailing lists and get the solutions from the guru's keyboard :) I have neither used puppet nor chef, comments are based upon sessions I attended @ gnuNify 2012 (SICSR, Pune) earlier this year. The talks on puppet and chef were given by senior sys admins, so it was not fluff material. Both presenters handled the QA part very well answering technical questions given the time constraints of clearing the room for the next event :( My *personal impression* (do intend to start emacs/vi type discussion here): chef appeared to have an edge over puppet. Of course, in the FOSS world this keeps changing with the new releases of the respective suites. A Google search for 'puppet chef sysadmin' brings up quite a few postings on both. I would suggest that (from a career point of view) you look @ both puppet and chef as arsenal in your resume. Both are powerful tools for automating sys admin activities in a data center like scenario. Best, -- Arun Khan ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

I am looking at the docs now, Video tutorials yes I love them a lot, which helps me give a class room feeling where I can take notes and try it.

This is the best http://docs.puppetlabs.com/learning/, I came across. But there might be others. Keep looking. Most other documents available online are brief. Also there is this book http://www.amazon.com/Pulling-Strings-Puppet-Configuration-Management/dp/1590599780. And http://forge.puppetlabs.com/ is an excellent place to look for reusable snippets. Personally I like this resource https://github.com/jwiegley/puppet-config. There will be initial blocks but once you overcome that puppet is an excellent tool.

Thanks and Regards Noorul Hi Noorul, Thanks I am not sure if you are probably using this, if you are using this and if you are attending ILUG-C meeting is it possible for you to give a small demo or take a small session on the same? I am going through the links which you gave me. -- Regards, Balasubramaniam Natarajan www.etutorshop.com/moodle/ ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
