The document provides an introduction to Puppet Enterprise, an automation platform. It discusses: - Puppet's workflow using classic and direct modes to define configurations with code and enforce them on nodes - Modeling server configurations with resources and defining relationships between them - How Puppet can automate infrastructure provisioning, application deployment, and ensure security and compliance across devices - Customer examples demonstrating how Puppet allows faster deployment and savings of over $1 million.

4. Every company
is a software company.

5. It feels like a
breaking point.

6. Change is necessary.

9. Where to start with automation
The shortest path to better software
Start with core infrastructure and work up
Provisioning
Bare metal ● Virtual environments ● Cloud ● Containers
Application infrastructure
SQL server ● Tomcat ● WebSphere ● IIS ● MySQL
Core infrastructure
Operating system ● NTP ● DNS ● SSH ● Firewall ● Users ● Groups
Application orchestration
Custom apps ● COTS ● Share services

10. Define with a common language
Easy to read, understand, write & share
Write once, use everywhere
Testing built in
No code clobbering
Choose from thousands of free modules,
backed by a vibrant ecosystem
Standard way for teams to deliver and operate software
Puppet code example
The shortest path to better software

11. Gain situational awareness
Real-time change visibility
Unique dependency visualizations
Continual drift monitoring and reporting
Audit and compliance reporting
Built-in, custom and 3rd party visualizations
Know exactly what is going on with all your software
Event inspection in Puppet Enterprise
The shortest path to better software

12. Orchestrate change intelligently
Continual enforcement and automatic
remediation
Real time change control and visibility
Ordered deployment built-in
Orchestration change from Puppet, Git,
Jenkins, HipChat, schedulers, etc.
Orchestrate change across distributed apps and global infrastructure
Running Puppet in the web UI, orchestrating change in the CLI
The shortest path to better software

13. Ensure security and compliance
Define and deploy security and compliance
policies
Continual enforcement and automatic
remediation
Reporting and traceability to prove
compliance
Automation to continually enforce policies. Traceability to prove compliance.

If it has an IP address, we want to manage it with Puppet

15. Customer success
“We need to deploy, at any given time,
any given service, in a given configuration,
as quickly as possible…We do it with Puppet.”

16. Customer success
“We can turn this stuff around really fast,
because we’ve done a good job building the
configurations within Puppet. We’re keeping pace
with our development teams as they roll out new
functionality for our business. People are amazed
at how quickly we turn things around.”

28. Modeling your servers
Build relationships between configurations

29. Define relationships between resources
