Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet certification PPT-202
http://puppetlabs.com/services/certification has a pretty solid list of pre-cert study materials but, yes, the more hands-on experience you have with Puppet/PE the better. Of the self-study resources mentioned there, I highly recommend: 1) The Puppet Certification Practice Test 2) The Puppet Learning Management System videos 3) The Puppet Enterprise Learning VM The training course are also awesome but then I'm biased as I'm a trainer. ;) Also be aware that the content for the cert test was recently refreshed. In my opinion, and I was among the people who worked on the new version of the test, the new version is more challenging than the old test. I would trust the Practice Test as a gauge over the word of anyone who might have taken the previous version of the cert. Good luck! If you pass don't post that fact to LinkedIn until you've upped your mobile plan as the recruiters will set your phone on fire! ;) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Re: [Puppet Users] CloudFormation/puppet/hiera integration..
Hiera allows multiple backends, YAML being one and also being the one with which most people start, some of which can be non-static. If you Google for Craig Dunn's blog you'll see an example where he uses a backend which enables Hiera data retrieval from a CouchDB backend. That particular example is one of my favorites examples of the flexibility of Hiera. As to how to get CF data into Puppet, I've not used CF enough to venture a solid guess but the first thing I would do is look to see if someone has a Forge module which presents user data as facter variables. In the case of AWS/EC2 facts this is done, if memory serves, via a Type and Provider that queries the 169.x node metadata service embedded in AWS/EC2. Feel free to let me know how that goes via direct email. I rarely have time to keep up with the mailing list. Cheers.

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet Fundamentals training - how "fundamental" is it?
Hey, David. I'm a trainer for Puppet Labs and just finished teaching my bazillionth Fundamentals class yesterday. ;) The class is appropriate for those with at least a little bit of Ops or Dev experience and it helps greatly if you are at least minimally comfortable with VMWare/Virtualbox and things like SSH and Unix-y text editors (vi or nano). That said of my my most impressive students was an MBA and had been out of pure tech for 5 or 6 years. The classes assume no previous Puppet experience but scripting experience certainly won't hurt you. The class covers Puppet agent + master workflow, some basic version control, Puppet modules, Defines, Parameterized Classes, Hiera and a few other bits specific to Puppet Enterprise. I've had students who have been doing Puppet for a couple of years come to the Fundamentals class and say afterwards they were surprised how much they learned. One particular student who expressed that view was maintaining a Puppet codebase of nearly 10k lines and thought he had seen it all before coming to class. I will warn you that most people how decide to skip Fundamentals and go straight to Advanced often regret it. It is quite a step up. You might want to check the training schedule on our site. I think we list "Puppet Introduction" classes there. They are a one-day very accelerated and stripped down version of the Fundamentals class. They are almost always taught at industry conferences as opposed to a public training center. Sitting through one of those would give you a very good idea what to expect in Fundamentals. Feel free to email my offlist if you have other questions.

Re: [Puppet Users] The Future - ENCs vs Hiera?
Sorry, bitten by the Gmail interface on that last one... I'm a proponent of something like this: http://www.craigdunn.org/2012/11/puppet-data-from-couchdb-using-hiera-http/ with classification data that doesn't change much ( 'require ::site::profile::base' ) perhaps living in YAML and specific one-off tweaks to a node's config like perhaps an override of the default NTP server coming from CouchDB. Much easier for the less Puppet-y people on a team to login and twiddle things via CouchDB web interface.

Re: [Puppet Users] Best of Breed Modules?
Here's what I advise in training classes: 1) Start with puppetlabs/ namespace modules. 2) If you don't find a puppetlabs/ module then you have to know a little bit about the groups/individuals within the community who have a good rep for putting out quality modules and identify their namespace. I'll not favor anyone by mentioning any names here. 3) Lastly I look at the last release date and number of downloads. I want something both widely used and showing some indication of active development. If the repo has a "Project URL" that points to GH etc that can be a nice thing to inspect as well. The above determines which ones I'll download for further review. Hope that helps. BTW, there's a lot work going into the Forge to improve the above heuristic.

Re: [Puppet Users] augeas question
Greg,
I believe resource ini_setting would be appropriate here but I do
understand the desire to learn about Puppet + Augeas.
> augeas { 'vsftpd.conf':
> context => '/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf',
> changes => [ 'set anonymous_enable=NO', 'set chroot_local_user=YES',

> }
context => '*/files*/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf',
?
I'm lazy and haven't tested with a Puppet apply but I think this might just
be an issue of understanding the namespace-y Augeas stuff. You can test
like so with augtool:
$ augtool ls */files*/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf

[Puppet Users] Re: Site module with Puppet Enterprise
Paleoposting FTW! I've been doing enough work with site modules as of late that I decided to make a git repo with a basic site module set up for following Craig Dunn's "Roles and Profiles" pattern. Or at least something very similar (no inheritance): https://github.com/nvalentine-puppetlabs/site.git Nothing groundbreaking but an easy 'git clone' as opposed to putting together the scaffolding every time. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Re: [Puppet Users] Pattern for managing software versions?
+1 for Brendan's technique. This is the precisely the same technique that I use/recommend when working with customers. FWIW, keep an eye on the Puppet Labs site. We have someone working on a raft of Puppet "best practices" documents and I expect that they should start landing soon. I'm certain that effective use of Hiera will be a topic of focus. -- --- Nathan Valentine - nat...@puppetlabs.com Puppet Labs Professional Services GV: 415.504.2173 Skype: nrvale0 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Re: [Puppet Users] Checking GIT updates
Hey, John. llowder's recommendation is solid. There's a write-up on how to accomplish the push/post-commit strategy here: https://puppetlabs.com/blog/git-workflow-and-puppet-environments/ -- --- Nathan Valentine - nat...@puppetlabs.com Puppet Labs Professional Services GV: 415.504.2173 Skype: nrvale0 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
