You don't have anything in your cart right now. A revolution is happening in web operations. Configuration management tools can build servers in seconds, and automate your entire network.
Tools like Puppet are essential to taking full advantage of the power of cloud computing, and building reliable, scalable, secure, high-performance systems. More and more systems administration and IT jobs require some knowledge of configuration management, and specifically Puppet. At every step it shows you exactly what commands you need to type, and includes full code samples for every recipe.
It starts with guidance on how to set up and expand your Puppet infrastructure, then progresses through detailed information on the language and features, external tools, reporting, monitoring, and troubleshooting, and concludes with many specific recipes for managing popular applications. The book also explains managing Ruby applications and MySQL databases, building web servers, load balancers, high-availability systems with Heartbeat, and many other state-of-the-art techniques. John Arundel is a DevOps consultant, which means he helps people build world-class web operations teams and infrastructures and has fun doing it.
He was formerly a senior operations engineer at global telco Verizon, designing resilient, high-performance infrastructures for major corporations such as Ford, McDonald's, and Bank of America. He is now an independent consultant, working closely with selected clients to deliver web-scale performance and enterprise-grade resilience on a startup budget.
He likes writing books, especially about Puppet Puppet 2. He also provides training and coaching on Puppet and DevOps, which, it turns out, is far harder than simply doing the work himself. Off the clock, he is a medal-winning, competitive rifle and pistol shooter and a decidedly uncompetitive piano player.
He lives in a small cottage in Cornwall, England and believes, like Cicero, that, if you have a garden and a library, then you have everything you need.

John Arundel August I really like the way John Arundel puts up the explanations and examples together. I actually started learning puppet by referring to the Puppet 2. Going thru and understanding the Puppet 3 cookbook has been a great experience. Though I am more on the infrastructure side, I have been able to develop my own recipes using the guidance from the book.
Puppet 3 cookbook covers all topics extensively, rig I am a solution architect and have been using puppet extensively for almost a year now.
Puppet 3 cookbook covers all topics extensively, right from getting started with puppet to advanced configurations and writing complex manifests. I would suggest it to be a "Must Read" to everyone working with puppet. Nov 21, Paul Miles rated it really liked it. As a regular puppet user of several years I wasn't expecting to gain too much from this book.
However, I was surprised to find lots of little gems scattered through the book which I know I can use to simplify some of my existing puppet modules. The only negative, and the reason I didn't rate it with 5 stars is that it has absolutely no windows recipes.
Now that Puppet is evolving to support Windows, some example code would definitely be of use to myself and others. Oct 10, Patrik Antonsson rated it it was amazing.
