   Title:
   Puppetize It!
   Overview:
   Puppet, an Open Source Data Center Automation and Configuration
   Management framework, is an extremely powerful System Administration
   tool. This presentation will demonstrate the value in "Puppetizing"
   both
   system and application tasks that were originally performed only by
   hand
   and/or home-grown scripts.
   Presenter:
   Mike Seda, CEO and IT Consultant at Seda Systems, Inc., has years of
   System Administration experience in Research and Enterprise Computing
   environments. The niche skills that he accrued during this time were
   (and still are) deemed extremely rare and valuable in the IT industry.
   One such skill is Puppet, which he has been using to automate system
   and
   application tasks for businesses of all sizes since 2008.
