Microsoft™Nano Server is a purpose-built operating system designed to run born-in-the-cloud applications and containers. To be lightweight, it sheds much of the Windows architecture, suggesting new approaches to building and managing these machines. With Puppet and DSC, we can make building Nano Server images automated and repeatable and able to live alongside your other infrastructure as code. This talk will walk through using Puppet to generate and customize a Nano Server image. Given enough presentation time, I'll also deploy it using Puppet.
