Automated System Management with Puppet
Time: Aug 30, 3:30 p.m.

Complexity can be minimized when systems are modeled and those living specifications can be executed. This lowers the real cost of change management and enables IT as a differentiator. This presentation will introduce the motivation and philosophy behind the project, followed by practical representative examples of Puppet style automation.
