PuppetConf 2015

Writing Puppet to cover all the different parts of your system is a lot less time consuming if you use modules already available on the web to compliment what you build yourself. There are a number of ways to do this and keep track of which modules you are using and their updates, including git submodules, librarian-puppet and r10k. This talk covers how to use those methods, how to adapt the modules you've included to your needs, and how to contribute back to the community. Attendees will learn to confidently and quickly integrate modules from GitHub and the Forge into their design, make adaptions or improvements to the design, and make contributions back to the Forge.
