This was a video at PuppetConf '12, so yes a long time ago. It’s nice to see the longevity of these tools, and I hope that its future is long and enduring.
What’s great is to see Mitchell Hashimoto’s enthusiasm, see how he learns, and what he is looking at in the scope of automating everything. It’s truly uncanny, and I am happy this video is still around.
Recently, I made a tutorial blog on Vagrant with Puppet Master, and I had to craft my own bootstrap script to install the server. So after finishing the blog, and then when I saw the video and saw that his approach for this was similar, I was pleasantly surprised to see the same approach.
It was also nice to see that he used fabric
as well as rake
for automation.
