Managing multiple servers
scaling up and scaling down servers based on application usage
the work velocity of developers were affected since sysadmins were taking time to
configure servers.
rolling back was a problem since there was no tool to document the different
versions of my application.
PUSH based configuration management tools: Ansible and Saltstack
PULL based configuration management tools: Puppet and chef
1 - puppet ubuntu
2 - clients (centos,ubuntu)
puppet master and clients should have entries of hosts data in /etc/hosts file
resolve them
now pupper is a javabased standalone server
apt.puppetlabs.com
download puppetlabs-release-pc1-trusty.deb
sudo dpkg -i puppetlabs-release-pc1-trusty.deb
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pupperserver
vi /etc/default/puppetserver
JAVA_ARGS - change the ram if needed
sudo service puppetserver start
puppet collections has to be installed
/opt/puppetlabs/bin/puppet
root will have direct command path entry to use puppet
/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production
for centos client
yum.puppetlabs.com
puppetlabs-release-pc1-el-6.noarch.rpm for centos 6
and install in the client
yum install puppet-agent
after install
ls /opt/puppetlabs/
env | grep PATH
vi /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/puppet.conf
puppet agent --test : to run puppet agent one time
in master server - puppet cert list : will list the certificates waiting for
certify
puppet cert sign centos : to certify
for second client:
apt.puppetlabs.com
puppetlabs-release-pc1-trusty.deb and install
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get puppet-agent
sudo su -
env| grep PATH
puppet agent --test
in master server - puppet cert list : will list the certificates waiting for
certify
puppet cert sign ubuntu : to certify
Manage a file:-
under
/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/manifests
vi site.pp
node default {
file { '/etc/motd':
owner => 'root',
group => 'root',
mode => '0644',
content => " \nwelcome to your new puppets client machines\n"
}
}
node centos {
} - for node specific
puppet agent --test
creating a module:-
module is group of coding tasks
/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/manifests/modules
mkdir motd
cd motd
mkdir manifests
vi init.pp
class motd {
file { '/etc/motd':
owner => 'root',
group => 'group',
mode => '0644',
content => inline_template(" the current time is <%= Time.now %> \n")
}
}
vi crabby.pp
class motd::crabby {
notify { " knife crab is the best":}
}
cd /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/manifests
vi site.pp
node default {
class { 'motd':}
class { 'motd::crabby':}
}
using facter(sic):-
facter
facter system_uptime
facter osfamily
/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/motd/manifests
vi init.pp
class motd {
file { '/etc/motd':
owner => 'root',
group => 'group',
mode => '0644',
content => inline_template(" the current $osfamily time is <%= Time.now %> \
n")
}
}
installing packages:-
/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/
mkdir mystuff
cd mystuff
mkdir manifests
vi init.pp
class mystuff {
notify {" i'm installing stuff like you wanted me to sir":}
include mystuff::vim
}
vi vim.pp
class mystuff::vim{
package {'vim':
ensure => 'latest'
}
}
/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules
cd manifests
vi site.pp
node default {
class { 'motd':}
class { 'mystuff': }
}
using conditionals and modules:-
/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/mystuff/manifests
vi apache.pp
class mystuff::apache{
if $osfamily == 'redhat' {
package { 'httpd':
ensure => 'latest'
}
}
elsif $osfamily == 'debian' {
package { 'apache2':
ensure => 'latest'
}
}
}
vi init.pp
inclue mystuff::apache
on client : puppet agent --test
files and file templates:-
puppet:///modules/mod-name/file.txt
.../production/modules/mod-name/files/file.txt
cd /etc/puppetlabs/code/modules
/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/motd/manifests

Puppet Forge:-
forge.puppetlabs.com
puppet module list
puppet module search ntp
puppet module install puppetlabs-ntp
/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/ntp/manifests
/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/manifests
vi site.pp
class {'::ntp': }
on client run puppet agent --test
tweaking agent systems:-
on client
cat /etc/default/puppet
vi /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/puppet.conf
[main]
