Write Puppet manifests and modules faster with VIM: Introduction Puppet Labs Puppet is IT automation software that gives system administrators the power to easily automate repetitive tasks, quickly deploy critical applications, and proactively manage infrastructure, on-premises or in the cloud. Puppet is a scalable and open source solution. A lot of modules exists on the official repository called Puppet forge : https://forge.puppetlabs.com/ If you search a specific module not available on Puppet forge and you will need to create your own. This task would take some time at first. To create Puppet manifests, it will be easier, but the required time to know the syntax is a problem for newbies.

Write Puppet manifests and modules faster with VIM: Introduction eNovance eNovance, an innovative French company that delivers services in two key areas: Integrating and operating public and private open source clouds and 24/7 managed Services for the world’s largest public clouds (Cloudwatt, AWS, Google Compute Engine, etc.). With its extensive investment in R&D, in less than three years eNovance has become the world’s 7th largest contributor to the OpenStack initiative, and the only European company on the foundation’s board of directors alongside Rackspace, Redhat, Cisco and HP. Today, we’re using Puppet in production and need to often write Puppet manifests and modules. That’s why we needed to have an IDE or something similar to win time when writing them.

Write Puppet manifests and modules faster with VIM: Introduction History Puppet announced in 2011 an IDE plugin for Eclipse called Geppetto. I used it for more than a year and it really helps me to write manifests. Unfortunately, the latests versions purposed by Cloudsmith (Geppetto editor) get stability problems, even with the "all in one" version. In addition, Eclipse consume a lot of resources just for writing Puppet manifests. Another solution exist, this is set of VIM plugins which provide a lightweight solution. It gives more advanced features and automatically checks Puppet syntax (Geppetto too). This is what we’re going to see here with the usage. http://puppetlabs.com/blog/geppetto-a-puppet-ide/ http://cloudsmith.github.io/geppetto/ Pierre Mavro www.enovance.com Write Puppet manifests and modules faster with VIM 7 / 23
