PuppetConf 2016

At last year's conference, Puppet introduced new capabilities including a shift in how Puppet makes change to infrastructure from eventual convergence to an on-demand mode that enforces change quickly, provides immediate feedback while doing it, and respects relationships defined between nodes using the new application management language features. In this session, we'll review these new capabilities (also check out Nick Lewis's talk on Direct Change Control) and discuss the tooling we're introducing to make the most of Puppet's new capabilities. We'll cover extension points like the environment catalog, static compiler, cached catalogs, and more. If you’ve just started to use Puppet or are a long time Puppeteer kicking off agent runs with MCollective, you'll learn what's coming and how to take advantage of it.
