3. What is puppet and why should I care? 3

4. “People are finally figuring out puppet and how it gets

   you to the pub by 4pm. Note that I’ve been at this pub since 2pm.” - Jorge Castro 4

5. 5

6. Puppet is a (not necessarily the) solution for the following

   problem: How do we setup, manage, synchronize, and upgrade our internal and external infrastructure? 6

7. Sysadmin! Y U no fix problem! NO 7

10. Your application is not special anymore. You are just another

    cog in the machine 10 http://www.sxc.hu/photo/400612

11. ➡ Solution 1: We don’t, ➡ Solution 2: We outsource,

    ➡ Solution 3: We automate the process. 11 How do we control our infrastructure?

12. ➡ It’s not funny: you find it more often than

    not. Especially inside small development companies. ➡ Internal sysadmin, but he’s too busy with development to do sysadmin. ➡ We only act on escalation ➡ reactive, not proactive ‣ Solution 1: we don’t 12

13. ➡ Expensive $LA’s. ➡ What about INTERNAL servers like your

    development systems and infrastructure? ➡ Fight between stability and agility. ➡ Does your hosting company decide on whether you can use PHP5.3??? ‣ Solution 2: we outsource 13

14. ➡ We are in charge. ➡ You can do what

    you like ➡ Use: cfEngine, chef, puppet. ➡ When done right, maintenance should not be difficult. ‣ Solution 3: we do it ourselves and automate 14

15. PUPPET 15

16. ➡ Open source configuration management tool. ➡ Puppet Labs (Reductive

    Labs) ➡ Written in Ruby ➡ Open source: https://github.com/puppetlabs ➡ Commercial version available (puppet enterprise) 16

17. ➡ Don’t tell HOW to do stuff. ➡ Tell WHAT

    to do. ¹ ¹ It’s not actually true, but good enough for now... “yum install httpd” “apt-get install apache2” “install and run the apache webserver” 17

18. 18 Schematic representation of a puppet infrastructure

19. Puppet 19

20. Puppet CA Puppet Master Puppet Agent Puppet Agent Puppet Agent

    https 20

21. ➡ Agent “calls” the puppet master. ➡ Agent sends “facts”

    to the master. ➡ Master creates “catalog” from the manifests and facts, sends to agent. ➡ Agent sets up system according to the catalog. ➡ Agent reports status to master. 21

22. ➡ Catalogs are “compiled” manifests ➡ Manifests are puppet definitions

    ➡ <filename>.pp ➡ Puppet DSL ➡ De-cla-ra-tive language ➡ Version your manifests! (git/svn) 22

23. package { “strace” : ensure => present, } file {

    “/home/jaytaph/secret-ingredient.txt” : ensure => present, mode => 0600, user => ‘jaytaph’, group => ‘noxlogic’, content => “beer”, } 23

24. package { “httpd” : ensure => present, } service {

    “httpd”: running => true, enable => true, } require => Package[“httpd”], 24

25. Centos / Redhat service: httpd package: httpd config: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf vhosts:

    /etc/httpd/conf.d/*.conf Debian / Ubuntu service: apache2 package: apache2 config: /etc/apache2/httpd.conf vhosts: /etc/apache2/sites-available 25

26. class webserver { package { “apache”: case $operatingsystem { centos,

    redhat { $packagename = “httpd” } debian, ubuntu { $packagename = “apache2” } default : { fail(‘I don’t know this OS/distro’) } } name => $packagename, ensure => installed, } service { “apache” : running => true, enable => true, require => Package[“apache”], } } 26

27. [root@puppetnode1 ~]# facter --puppet architecture => x86_64 fqdn => puppetnode1.noxlogic.local

    interfaces => eth1,eth2,lo ipaddress_eth1 => 192.168.1.114 ipaddress_eth2 => 192.168.56.200 kernel => Linux kernelmajversion => 2.6 operatingsystem => CentOS operatingsystemrelease => 6.0 processor0 => Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7500 @ 2.20GHz puppetversion => 2.6.9 27

28. node “web01.example.org” { include webserver } node /^db\d+\.example\.org$/ { package

    { “mysql-server” : ensure => installed, } } 28 /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp:

29. node “web01.example.local” { $webserver_name = “web01.example.local” $webserver_alias = “www.example.local” $webserver_docroot

    = “/var/www/web01” include webserver } node “web02.example.local” { $webserver_name = “web02.example.local” $webserver_alias = “crm.example.local” $webserver_docroot = “/var/www/web02” include webserver } 29

30. 30 What can Puppet configure / control?

31. http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/type.html ➡ (Almost) everything. ➡ Standard 48 different resource types

    ➡ Ranging from “file” to “cron” to “ssh_key” to “user” to “selinux”. ➡ Can control your Cisco routers and windows machines too (sortakinda) 31

32. 32 https://github.com/joindin/joind.in

33. 33 class params { $host = 'dev.joind.in' $port = '80'

    # Database credentials. #Test database will be setup with _test prefixed to these variables. $dbname = 'joindin' $dbuser = 'joindin' $dbpass = 'password' # True if phpmyadmin needs to be installed, false if not. $phpmyadmin = true # Uncomment to turn on debugging #$debug = 'on' } manifests/params.pp

34. 34 node default { include params include joindin } manifests/joindin.pp

35. 35

36. 36 modules/joindin/manifests/init.pp class joindin { include joindin::setup include joindin::sql include

    joindin::web include joindin::app }

37. 37 class joindin::web { include apache # include phpmyadmin if

    needed if $params::phpmyadmin == true { include joindin::web::phpmyadmin } # Configure apache virtual host apache::vhost { $params::host : docroot => '/vagrant/src', template => 'joindin/vhost.conf.erb', port => $params::port, require => Package["apache"], } modules/joindin/manifests/web.pp

38. 38 ... # Install PHP modules php::module { 'mysql': }

    php::module { "pecl-xdebug" : require => File["EpelRepo"], # xdebug is in the epel repo } # Set development values to our php.ini augeas { 'set-php-ini-values': context => '/files/etc/php.ini', changes => [ 'set PHP/error_reporting "E_ALL | E_STRICT"', 'set PHP/display_errors On', 'set PHP/display_startup_errors On', 'set PHP/html_errors On', 'set Date/date.timezone Europe/London', ], require => Package['php'], notify => Service['apache'], } } # End class

39. 39 ➡ Puppet went from v0.25 to v2.6. ➡ REST

    interface since 2.6. XMLRPC before that. ➡ One binary to rule them all (puppet). ➡ Puppet v2.7 switched from GPLv2 to apache2.0 license.

40. 40 So how does Puppet benefit me as a DEVELOPER?

41. 41 ➡ Keep all developers in sync ➡ Keep your

    DTAP in sync ➡ Lets infrastructure be a part of your project

42. Vagrant http://vagrantup.com/ http://vagrantup.com/images/vagrant_chilling.png 42

43. Vagrant is a tool for building and distributing virtualized development

    environments. 43

44. Vagrant::Config.run do |config| config.vm.box = 'centos-62-64-puppet' config.vm.box_url = 'http://../centos-6.2-64bit-puppet-vbox.4.1.12.box' #

    Forward a port from the guest to the host, which allows for outside # computers to access the VM, whereas host only networking does not. config.vm.forward_port 80, 8080 config.vm.provision :puppet do |puppet| puppet.manifests_path = "puppet/manifests" puppet.module_path = "puppet/modules" puppet.manifest_file = "main.pp" puppet.options = [ '--verbose', ] end end Vagrantfile 44

45. # git clone [email protected]:jaytaph/myproject.git # vagrant up 45

46. ➡ Downloads (optionally) the base box ➡ Deploys and boots

    up a new VM ➡ Runs the provisioner (puppet) ➡ Profit! 46

47. Multi VM’s Vagrant::Config.run do |config| config.vm.box = 'centos-62-64-puppet' config.vm.box_url =

    'http://../centos-6.2-64bit-puppet-vbox.4.1.12.box' config.vm.define :web do |web_config| web_config.vm.host_name = 'web.example.org' web_config.vm.forward_port 80 8080 ... end config.vm.define :database do |db_config| db_config.vm.host_name = 'db.example.org' db_config.vm.forward_port 3306 3306 ... end end Vagrantfile 47

48. 48

49. ➡ Puppet agent “calls” the master every 30 minutes. ➡

    But what about realtime command & control? ➡ “Puppet kick”... (meh) ➡ MCollective (Marionette Collective) 49

50. ➡ Which systems running a database and have 16GB or

    less? ➡ Which systems are using <50% of available memory? ➡ Restart all apache services in timezone GMT+5. 50

51. ACTIVEMQ Client MCollective Server Node Middleware Client MCollective Server MCollective

    Server Collective 51

52. http://docs.puppetlabs.com/mcollective/reference/basic/subcollectives.html 52

53. Filter out nodes based on facts $ mc-facts operatingsystem Report

    for fact: operatingsystem CentOS found 3 times Debian found 14 times Solaris found 4 times $ mc-facts -W operatingsystem=Centos operatingsystemrelease Report for fact: operatingsystemrelease 6.0 found 1 times 5.6 found 2 times 53

54. ➡ Display all running processes ➡ Run or deploy software

    ➡ Restart services ➡ Start puppet agent ➡ Upgrade your systems ➡ Write your own agents! 54

55. -ETOOMUCHINFO Let’s recap 55

56. ➡ Configuration management tool. ➡ Focusses on “what” instead of

    “how”. ➡ Scales from 1 to 100K+ systems. ➡ Uses descriptive manifests. ➡ Vagrant for setting up your development environments. 56

57. ➡ Useful for sysadmins and developers. ➡ Keeps your infrastructure

    in sync. ➡ Keeps your infrastructure versioned. ➡ Infrastructure as part of your projects. ➡ MCollective controls your hosts based on facts, not names. 57

58. There is no reason NOT to manage your infrastructure. Having

    only 3 servers is NOT a reason. 58 You will be able to join the rest of us in the pub early. Don’t “install” development environments, build them!
