Hi. As I think I mentioned (here or in IRC, dont know), I'm doing a kind of "grant" to investigate Puppet for my company. So far I've been learning the language and trying to model some of our infrastructure on a small test server I've set up.
This is going fine, I'm learning a lot... but. This doesnt give me a picture of how is Puppet used on a real enviroment. So, I was kind of hoping if some sucessfull Puppet users on this list could have some time to chat about how they are using Puppet. How are your machines and services life-cycles managed - all with Puppet, from install to decommision? How do you deal with dynamic changes or process (been a theme of discussion lately here) and having Puppet enforcing a "state"? Do you work always inside Puppet or some task have you "shut down" it till you get it done correctly and then model it on Puppet? How many people work with your Puppet configuration and how do you manage access - basically how you use Puppet and distribute task to junior members or other teams or... What kind of benefits have you got from using Puppet? What kind of drawbacks? Have any taks you tried it and decided it was not suited? Are you using tools like Capistrano/MCollective/Func/etc with Puppet? Why? How do you coordinate that? ... yep, tons of things I know is generic stuff that is in part on the "Who is using Puppet" page, but I want to see if I can get some more detailed approximation of how do you live with Puppet as your system configuration management tool, instead of the common "lets log in via SSH and do stuff" admin model we all know by default. If you want to answer here for anybody to see, great, but I would really like to get in touch with, say, 2 or 3 "advocates" that could spend, say, 1 h or so, talking about how do they do their work with Puppet, so if you want to help, please send me a mail at this address.
