So what do I have to learn right now???? Because you are telling us to learn “All IT”, but also mentioned to us the importance in specialization....getting mixed message over here😐😐

[@codenoob9325]

Next. Why should you learn Chef. Chef attire in the thumbnail. 😂

[@p0larz0mbies]

I'm getting the gist that I need to learn everything right now.

EVERYTHING!!! I bet next he is gonna say kubernetes. Lol

Haha same here. But I have to admit that his videos are awesome and he explains the key points of all the stuff we need to learn.

Too much learning yes but the automation can be a life saver at your current job in IT (just dont tell management🤣)

Puppet lab completed, ready for next "you need to learn" video! lol Wanted to call out some tips for doing this lab.. 1. Go to Linode marketplace section to spin up a docker instance, didn't come up when searching or checking under quick items dropdown in Linode main page. For a moment I thought they didn't offer docker anymore lol. 2. Don't run the pull cmd from the docker hub link in description since you have to name it so follow the cmd in video to pull and name it. Besides that pretty easy :)

Puppet is amazing! I am a total noob to Puppet, but I already really enjoy it. I would definitely like more videos on Puppet. Maybe even using a combination of deploying a website into and AWS environment using Puppet?

[@singletakecovers9740]

Awesome intro.Now I can BS my way through any meeting they throw at me.

[@mart099]

Great video Chuck. Great explanation of Puppet agent and agentless Bolt. FYI - you can now manage agentless devices like Cisco switches direct in the Puppet Enterprise Console. Enables amazing audit reporting and control. Perfect for finding out what’s changed, when and by who.

All these tools and technologies are exciting. Cant wait to dig deep into them.

They’re amazing. But overwhelming at times. Take small bites.

[@MrDale3win]

Since you already covered Ansible and now Puppet, I would love to see you also speak about Chef, which you alluded to in this video. These have been very helpful in connecting the dots given all the info I have been reading. Thanks for all you do!!

[@glen_nz]

I'd be interested too. I didn't know about Puppet Bolt for agentless - so that was a nice surprise. It would be cool to see what Chef does on that side of things too as both Puppet & Chef have generally been client/server/pull.

[@zinobi]

Since my feed was 2/3s of the search result was about puppeteering hand and string puppets (which I to the best of my knowledge have searched on 2 times EVER) I actually skimmed over this video the first 2 times just assuming it was yet another video about how to make a string-puppet. You have 2M+ subbies, so you probably know "a little bit more about how to make thumbnails" than I do. But my 2 cents is "perhaps tone down the string puppeting".

Hi Chuck

[@kardosabr6060]

Anyone who passed ENCOR exam, how these tools come on the exam please?

[@manasjain914]

I'm Getting Confused What should i learn Ansible Puppet chef Terraform What I do 🤯

[@dennisboge7151]

Manas there has different usecases for this tools. When you want automate your virtual server itself, there’s puppet, Ansible or chef the right. Terraform is primary to provision systems, like aws or esxi / VMware or other hypervisor. The primary different between puppet and ansible is the declareted (puppet) or procedural (Ansible) way the tool itself works. Terraform is a declarative stat tool, too. Puppet need a agent and is protected by a ssl / own pki and has no ssh connection between the master server and his agents. The agents pull his manifest (playbook by ansible) scheduled all 15min and execute them. Ansible is per default only on run when you start it on cli and change thinks, or not ;) So, puppet Agent check his manifest and setup configuration back, if there is declare in his manifest and some has change it in cli direkt into the vm. In my case I use terraform for provision (create / change / delete virtual Maschine on VMware) and puppet to provision the vm itself, to run a Webserver for example. I hope this helps to understand 😄

[@NetworkChuck]

[@BadmaashCo]

Why is salt stack powerful?

[@roberthealey7238]

If the technology uses agents, it’s DOA. Agents simply don’t scale in modern environments, if you have to install anything on a client the platform won’t fly; think about having to fire up and destroy 100k plus instances per day or more and you get the idea. Having to depend on database engines and other heavy support modules is also a non starter in modern stacks. Puppet, Chef, salt stack and similar are dead end and will be crushed under their own support weight; talk about pets vs cattle...
