Summary

In Puppet Fundamentals students will learn the right way to manage an infrastructure.

Description

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 Fundamentals is taught through a combination of lecture and relevant, real world, hands-on exercises.

Objectives
After completing this course, students will be able to deploy basic system configurations using best practices for Puppet in a Master-Agent setup.
