how puppet labs tests and validates puppet enterprise
DESCRIPTION
When new code is written, its journey to making your life easier has only just begun. This presentation will chronicle how (with just a little bit of magic) new code makes its pilgrimage from the golden spires of GitHub and though the gauntlet of testing. We will watch as it is knighted a true Package of the Realm, and finally arrives at the fortress of your data center ready to help fight the gremlins that plague your infrastructure. I’ll show you how VSphere, Jenkins, and our custom code come together to bring Puppet Enterprise to our customers’ hands. Branan Purvine-Riley QA Engineer, Puppet Labs Branan joined Puppet Labs in the spring of 2012 as an intern working on OpenStack integrations. In late summer the same year he moved to the software delivery team, where he has focused on improving the tools and automations which allow Puppet Labs to ship great product.TRANSCRIPT
