Puppet Training

Certified Puppet training at ATIX— for beginners there is “Puppet & Bolt Basics” and the “Puppet & Bolt Developer” training is for experienced Puppet admins. For those who want to go even deeper, there is the Ruby for Puppet training. 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
