Instructions and Navigations

All of the code is organized into folders. For example, ch02.

The code will look like the following:

hierarchy:
- name: "YAML layers"
  paths:
   - "nodes/%{trusted.certname}.yaml"
   - "location/%{fact.data_center}.yaml"
   - "common.yaml"

Following is what you need for this book: This book is for DevOps engineers looking to automate infrastructure with Puppet as a configuration management tool. It will allow both beginners and current Puppet users to understand the full power of the Puppet language and platform. A basic understanding of Unix system administration and Windows systems and core development concepts such as revision control tools like git, virtualization, testing, and coding tooling like vi or Visual Studio code is a prerequisite.

With the following software and hardware list you can run all code files present in the book (Chapter 1-15).
