I've been using Puppet for some time now, and picked this book up after many great recommendations across the internet.John is such a kind hearted and pedagogically focussed individual, and his book reflects this. Though this is titled as a Puppet Beginners Guide, don't let that put you off. Having read this cover to cover, I've found that my own Puppet knowledge has increased, and I've started rewriting and making use of a lot of the concepts introduced in this book, some of which are idiomatic.I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a guide on how to use Puppet from start to finish, whether you 'think you know it all', or whether you are just curious. The style of John's writing makes it a real page turner, and the content does not become dry at any point.I have learned a lot from this book, and would urge John to write a follow-up, or 'Intermediates Guide to Puppet'.

It really doesn’t matter if you’re new to the team or a grizzled DevOps veteran - if you’re wanting to learn more about Puppet, “Puppet 5 Beginner’s Guide” will quickly make you productive and proficient in Puppet 5.Puppet 5 Beginner’s Guide walks you through it all! From installing Puppet and packages, manifests, configuration files as well as how to schedule jobs all the while showing you how to provisioning systems (and containers) locally or in the cloud. Did I mention that he also walks you through git?!?On a side note, I typically don't do reviews of any of the books I purchase, but I felt that book deserved a review!

This book is arguably one of the finest technical books I've ever read on what is arguably a pretty vast subject. What I truly like about it is that the aim of the book is clearly to just show the reader how it's done. Some other books dedicate entire chapters on edge-cases and feel more like Phd-style reference books. Not this one.This book will not make you a puppet-guru. Nor does it claim to have this as a goal. This book will give you a fine starting point to become one, however. And anything not mentioned in this book will most likely be covered on stackoverflow.

As an experienced programmer and recent devops engineer, this was a great find for a total Puppet newbie like myself. Well written, with straightforward examples that work, and ends with a demo of how to put it all together. The book provides some sample code on github to use as a skeleton for Puppet projects -- exactly what I needed.

Für den einstieg in Puppet sehr gut. Auch wenn zum teil nicht mehr auf dem allerneusten Stand.
