Infrastructure Automation with Gradle and Puppet

Infrastructure-as-code is becoming a mandatory part of any successful project.
During this presentation we will show how to use Gradle plugins and Puppet manifests
to provision and maintain consistent infrastructure configuration. We will
also touch tools like Jenkins, Vagrant, Packer, VirtualBox and AWS.

It is advised to have laptops with at least 8GB for this workshop.

During last years we accumulated a lot of experience helping our clients
automating their JVM projects starting from automated deployments and ending
with fully automated production infrastructure configuration.
I would like to share this experience in a workshop.

Audience Learnings:

Solid approach with the help of Gradle and Puppet to combine build, deployment and provisioning into a robust delivery pipeline: integrating infrastructure provisioning and operations into Gradle builds, using Puppet to define infrastructure state, integrate all bits into a pipeline
