PuppetConf 2016

Atlassian's Build Engineering team is responsible for the build infrastructure that hundreds of developers rely on to perform thousands of builds that upload hundreds of thousands of build artifacts a day. The services behind this infrastructure, including Bamboo and Nexus, are provisioned and configured using Puppet. To manage the configuration of Bamboo and Nexus more effectively and with less disruption, the Build Engineering team has created its own custom Puppet types and providers to manage these applications through their REST APIs. Since publishing, these modules have been downloaded tens of thousands of times and received contributions from the community. This presentation walks the audience through the design and development custom Puppet types and providers.
