[PuppetConf 2014][IT Automation] Puppet for Everybody! - Federated and Hierarchical Puppet Enterprise - Chris Bowles, University of Texas at Austin (Vimeo repost)

A brief overview of how Puppet Enterprise is being used in the ITS organization at the University of Texas at Austin to provide a federated but seamless hierarchical configuration management workspace. Our deployment allows multiple stakeholders to work together in a framework that safely applies configurations at the correct scope, while automatically applying broader configurations via inheritance and Console/Hiera linkages.

By taking advantage of Puppet Enterprise as a shared toolchain, we tap into the power of the DevOps movement: Development and Operational staff work hand-in-glove in the same workspace, but at different layers of the stack, allowing for innovation within a safe framework. At the same time, our hierarchical model ensures the security, standardization, and stability of our systems through inheritance of shared variables and classes; federation of module development through module path additions from diverse source trees; and dynamic environments.
