- 15. PE + vRA/EHC SolutionLegacy Challenge Puppet Enterprise + vRA / EHC • Simple baseline VM templates. • Standard and reusable Puppet code from a supported library of content (Forge). • Automatically update provisioned VMs based on new desired state. • Ensure VMs are continually security- hardened and compliant. Day 1 Potential for template sprawl. Day 1 Error-prone provisioning scripts. Fragile and ad hoc. Day 2+ Manually update/change VMs once they’re provisioned. Day 2+ Manually remediating security and compliance issues.
- 16. Why Puppet Enterprise and vRA/EHC Scale the Service Catalog Eliminate manual template builds and maintenance. Move from static to dynamic templates. Adopt DevOps practices Unify tools, teams and processes and remove bottlenecks and handoffs. Single Management Platform Use the same Puppet policy to manage the catalog AND the deployed VMs. Achieve faster time-to-value from your vRA/EHC investment
- 21. Infrastructure as Code Describe the ideal environment with a simple, commonly understood language building { 'home': ensure => 'clean', front_door => 'closed', keys => 'key_hook', jacket => 'closet', floor => 'vacuumed’, litter_box => 'empty', remote => 'coffee_table', }
