Learning about Puppet

I’ve not been doing system administration for years, so I missed out on Puppet. It looks pretty cool to administer machines and services. Looking through the recipies I found some example for MySQL setting the root password. Interesting stuff.

I’ve downloaded and installed it on my Mac. It’s written in Ruby. I’ll check it further making maybe something around MySQL Cluster then. If possible, maybe even before my talk at the Open Source Data Center conference in Nuremberg, Germany.
