Puppet: From Installation to Catalog Converge

Jump in to the configuration management platform Puppet in this Learning Activity! Starting with installing Puppet, we aim to take you from newbie Puppet user to a competent module creator by installing and configuring Puppet Open Source, then by creating an Apache module where we'll learn how to use resource types, add static files, create templates, use OS-specific parameters, and store data in Hiera. By the end of this learning activity, you'll be ready to craft your own Puppet modules efficiently and with best practices.
