A revolution is coming to IT operations. Configuration management tools can build servers in seconds, and automate your entire network. Tools like Puppet are essential to take full advantage of the power of cloud computing, and build reliable, scalable, secure, high-performance systems.

The book takes you beyond the basics to explore the full power of Puppet, showing you in detail how to tackle a variety of real-world problems and applications. At every step it shows you exactly what commands you need to type, and includes full code samples for every recipe.

The book takes the reader from a basic knowledge of Puppet to a complete and expert understanding of Puppet’s latest and most advanced features, community best practices, writing great manifests, scaling and performance, and how to extend Puppet by adding your own providers and resources.

The book includes real examples from production systems and techniques that are in use in some of the world’s largest Puppet installations, including a distributed Puppet architecture and a high-performance Puppetmaster solution using Apache and Passenger.

Explore the power of Puppet with this practical guide to the world’s most popular configuration management system

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommend 31 Jan 2012
By David
Format:Paperback
Being a novice of Puppet and just starting my initial install of the software I was in search of a cookbook to help with answers with problems I was having. In reading "Puppet 2.7 Cookbook" so far, I have enjoyed the way the book was structured and formatted. The "HOW IT WORKS" sections are helpful in understanding what Puppet will do.

I highly recommend the book for anyone that wants to get a better handle on common problems.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent insights 30 Jan 2012
By G. G. B. Apeldoorn
Format:Paperback
This book gave me very good insights and really has value above the online docs. This is not so much a reference, but a collection of best-practices so you can make optimal use of Puppet.
The book is well-written, with an informal tone that is easy and fun to read. I really liked it and am already using parts of it in my daily work.

4.0 out of 5 stars Practical, handy and useful 30 Jan 2012
By book worm
Format:Paperback
Initially when I started to work with puppet I found it hard to manage my modules, certificates and various conf files. In these terms I found this book a practical and handy guide, with lot of best practices.

The best part is the way each content is organized. Each topic is distributed into following sections "Getting ready", "How to do it", "How it works", "There's more", and "See also". This made things detailed and clear for me.

Even if you have done puppet set-up in this book you might find some useful info which can make things easier or better. For example, this books, talks about various puppet.conf parameters (as common as modulepath and as unknown as usecacheonfailure, ).

Another good thing which I felt that apart from managing Application, Packages and Virtual resources, this book covered Reporting and graphing. Though I haven't tried reporting and graphing yet, but courtesy this book I might try that soon.

The only 2 things to keep in mind regarding this book. First, it is not for beginners and demands some understanding of Puppet and Linux (though author has mentioned in the book, but thought you should be aware). Second, it is not purely a "How do I" kind of book.
