On April 11th, 2022 Puppet’s CEO Yvonne Wassenaar announced the acquisition from Perforce. Interesting and, for me, unexpected news. Only time will tell us how much this is going to impact Puppet’s product and the nature of its community. Do we still need Puppet? In these times where serverless, containers, and cloud based services are trending tech friends often ask me (given my barely concealed addiction for it) what’s the future and the role of a tool like Puppet. It was born to solve problems of the past, when people had to configure their own servers, rather than relying on ...Simon Hönscheid, April 10, 2022 05:46 PM | Source: betadots
There are situations when you want to store secrets like passwords, tokens
or usernames in Hiera. The default way to do this is to use Hieras e(ncrypted)YAML
implementation based on PKCS7.
eYAML uses a public/private keypair. The public key goes out to all users. They are able to encrypt content; then, the private key is stored somewhere
safe and on the Puppetservers. This key is the only way to decrypt content.
This is pretty easy to configure, but might become an issue if team members leave the company. In practical ...

Manchmal ist es notwendig, Zugangsdaten wie Passwörter, Tokens oder Benutzernamen in Hiera zu speichern. Puppet bringt die Implementation Hiera e(ncryted)YAML auf Basis von PKCS7 mit um dies zu ermöglichen,
eYAML basiert auf einem öffentlichen/privatem Schlüsselpaar. Der öffentliche Schlüssel wird an die Benutzer verteilt und ermöglicht Ihnen das verschlüsseln von Inhalten. Der private Schlüssel wird an einem sicheren Ort und auf den Puppetservern abgelegt. Dieser Schlüssel ist in der Lage Inhalte zu entschlüsseln.
Die Konfiguration ist einfach, kann aber zum Problem werden wenn Teammitglieder die Firma verlassen. In vielen Teams, in denen ...

A year and a half ago, our infrastructure team at Camptocamp was faced with an increasingly problematic situation. We were provisioning more and more Kubernetes clusters, on different cloud providers. We used Terraform to deploy the infrastructure itself, and we had started to adopt Argo CD to deploy applications on top of the cluster.
We quickly ended up with many projects using similar logic, often borrowed from older projects, and most of these cluster were starting to use divergent code.
We thought it was time to put together a standard core in order to:

Today at 7:58 am was the Winter Solstice. That’s when the days stop getting shorter and start getting longer again. Metaphorically, it’s when darkness starts leaving our lives again and we welcome in more light.
Ruben and I celebrated with a 7:58 am morning run, of course. The first half of the run was on a well-worn regular route, but then on the way back we wandered on an unplanned, unmapped, unfamiliar route. We just let ourselves go where our feet and Ruben’s nose led us. It was wonderful. I thought about things I’d like to let go of and ...

The Infrastructure Automation Content (IAC) team formed from the merger of 4 core content-focused teams (Modules, Windows, Cloud & Containers, and Networking), maintaining forty-five open-source supported Puppet modules and over a dozen tools that help reduce the content maintenance and support costs.
A crucial part of Puppet’s success has always been the support of the community. The IAC team, like with all module teams before, would have had a dedicated engineer or engineers assigned to community triage, usually on a rotational basis.
The triage rota consumed 20% of the team’s engineering resources. It was challenging due ...

Information is power. And those who control the narrative have all the power in the world. In recent years, we’ve seen the interconnectedness of our digital communities lead to the weaponization of misinformation.
The obvious example of that was the Jan 6, 2021 insurrection in which a departing president incited an attempted coup in a pathetic attempt to remain in power and relevant. He did this via Twitter.
Fortunately, he’s since been de-platformed, but the right-wing has squadrons of misinformation lieutenants regularly attempting to spin current events, gaslight the nation, and control the minds of their army of followers. One ...

Since few weeks now, the operator Red Hat OpenShift GitOps became GA and embbed tools like Tekton and ArgoCD.
When the operator is deployed, it provisions a vanilla ArgoCD which miss the OpenShift integrated login. In this post, we are going to review the steps to enable it.
