Automating

Infrastructure

Continuous Delivery Adds Business Value

• React faster to market conditions

• Innovate faster

• Fix bugs faster

• Make feedback loops faster

Creating the artifact does not mean you're done.

The Infrastructure Matters

All that speed is pointless

if your code isn't running.

Infrastructure Matters for Delivery

• Time from "done" to "running?"

• Does it work in Production?

• Will an infrastructure change

break our release?

• Can I recreate a production issue

from n releases ago?

Infrastructure Playing Catch-Up

• Ops team, choose two:

• Speed

• Reliability

• Sleep

As sysadmins, we need to catch up.

PRODUCTIVITY

SPEED

INSIGHT

60% of IT managers are not satisfied with the speed at which IT responds to business needs.

48% of IT professionals spend 50% or more of their time on basic administrative tasks

93% of IT professionals cannot answer “What changed?” when an outage incident occurs

The Cost of Manual Management

MANUAL CONFIGURATION

CUSTOM SCRIPTS

GOLDEN IMAGES

LEGACY TOOLS

IT DOESN'T WORK

How Puppet Works - Infrastructure as Code

Infrastructure As Code

• Versioned

• Historical logs

• Discrete changes

• Easily reverted

Server state in a build pipeline

• Tighten operations feedback loops

• Update configuration faster

• Test infrastructure changes

• Increase confidence

• Reduce outages

RSpec-Puppet

Beaker

Easily recreate environments

• Rapid DR standup

• Datacenter migrations

• Building new dev environments

Developers can code on near perfect replicas of

production

Single Shared Pipeline

Tightly couple apps and infrastructure

• Shared goal of not breaking builds

• Common focus on business goals

(stop throwing problems over the fence)

In Summary

• Puppet declares desired state.

• Version control puppet.

• Test & deploy Puppet + app code.
