Part 3 – The Puppet Platform and Bolt Orchestration

In this part, you will understand how Puppet is structured as a platform, how the various components work together and communicate, and the common architecture approaches used to deliver scale. We will then show the various methods that can be used to classify which code is applied to servers and how code is versioned and deployed to infrastructure. Bolt will be introduced as Puppet’s way of running procedural scripts and code, which can be traditional scripts in various languages or plans based on the Puppet language. We will then review how you can monitor, tune, and integrate Puppet infrastructure with various tools and third-party products.

This part has the following chapters:

• Chapter 10, Puppet Platform Parts and Functions
