Puppet Trainings

Puppet is a tool for managing and automating the configuration of servers. Users define the desired system condition in the infrastructure that they want to manage. This takes place by writing infrastructure code in Puppet’s domain-specific language, Puppet Code, which can be used with a variety of devices and operating systems. ATIX offers various Puppet training courses for users of different levels. Have a look!

ATIX offers certified Puppet Trainings! There are several options:

“Puppet & Bolt Basic” for beginners
“Puppet & Bolt Developer” for experienced Puppet admins
“Ruby for Puppet” for everyone who really wants to know it inside out

There’s something for everyone who wants to be a Puppet expert!

For Windows administrators, the introduction to configuration management with Puppet is somewhat different than for Linux administrators, so we offer a separate training for them: Puppet for Windows
