What you'll learn

It's possible to go your entire career without having to write a single Module, but it's not likely. Even if you don't publish modules to the Forge, the odds are high you'll have to render site-specific customizations to the modules you download. In this course, Writing and Deploying Puppet 2019 Modules, you'll write a simple module, and publish it to the Puppet Forge. First, you'll get to see some of the differences between Open Source Puppet and Puppet Enterprise, after which you'll set up a Puppet Enterprise Master of Masters on Enterprise Linux eight, as well as three PE Agents. Next, you'll experience role-based access control from the PE console, and master the PE environment. Finally, you'll write your own version of the Apache module from scratch, and write simple Unit-tests in RSpec-puppet.
