As mentioned earlier I’ll be going to South Africa for 2 weeks soon, I have a few talks lined up.<\/p>\n
I’ll be talking at the Gauteng LUG<\/a> on the 1st of July 2009 and I will give the same talk in Cape Town LUG<\/a> the following Thursday – 9th of July.<\/p>\n The talks will be about Configuration Management and about Puppet, both subjects are pretty huge subjects so I won’t pretend to cover either in depth.<\/p>\n I’ll just run through some problems teams who use Linux or Unix have encountered and how CM systems can be used to help with those problems. <\/p>\n I’ll work through a sample of installing, configuring and starting Apache using Puppet. Finally I’ll show how company standards can be encapsulated in simple re-usable Puppet logic to easily roll out large amounts of vhosts according to company standards with minimal effort. The demonstration will be done using 2 virtual machines, one being managed by the other using Puppet.<\/p>\n Ideally the talks won’t be just me standing up and going on for x minutes, I’ll invite participation, answer any questions etc.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As mentioned earlier I’ll be going to South Africa for 2 weeks soon, I have a few talks lined up.
