In Puppet Fundamentals students will learn the Right Way to manage a infrastructure. Students will start by installing Puppet Enterprise, then learn Puppet Best Practices and use Puppet to write simple classes, and update and extend existing modules. Puppet will be taught through a combination of lecture and relevant, real world, hands-on exercises.What You Will Learn to Help You Solve Problems

• The fundamental component roles that make up Puppet Enterprise (and Puppet Open Source).
• The core concepts for the Puppet DSL, including:
  • Modules and Classes
  • Classification
  • Resources
  • Relationships
  • Language Constructs
• Separating logic from presentation by using Templates.
• Modeling repeatable portions of your configuration by using Defined Resource Types.
• Building a foundation for building more complex configurations by using Advanced Classes:
  • Parameterized Classes
  • Introduction to Inheritance
  • Introduction to Data Separation using Hiera
  • Revisiting Classification using parameterized classes & ADB
• An introduction to using modules from the Puppet Forge and Supported Modules.
• A brief introduction to the Roles and Profiles design pattern.

In this course, we expect students to have little to no experience with Puppet Enterprise (or Puppet Open Source) and are looking to build a foundation for future growth, experience, and knowledge.
