Topic: Examples for Separating Data from Puppet Code

Description: One of the first, and biggest, hurdles that Puppet users encounter is 'How do I make this Puppet code work across all my environments?'  There are several ways to solve this problem, and Gary will give examples of many of the popular methods.  He'll also introduce you to Hiera: the next-generation data lookup system that will be bundled with the next major release of Puppet"

Topic: Using Puppet to Automate Amazon Deployments

Description: As Amazon continues to grow market share in the public cloud, users are deploying more sophisticated multi-tiered applications. This presents a DevOps challenge related to consistent provisioning, configuring, scaling and locking down resources. This session will discuss the use of Puppet and CloudFormation to automate cloud deployments and system upgrades.

2pm -  Speaker: Kenn Hussey of Cloudsmith

Topic: Geppetto - tooling for Puppet development

Description: This talk will provide both an overview of current approaches to developing Puppet modules, as well as a look forward toward an expanded vision that includes publishing and consuming modules with the Puppet Forge. 

We’ll review the current state of the art in tooling for working with modules, with a particular emphasis on Geppetto, a recently introduced “Puppet IDE” that simplifies the process of creating and editing manifests and modules. We’ll also demonstrate Geppetto's key features and also show how Geppetto supports module development, publishing and consumption in an integrated workflow.
