Puppet code testing – Modules vs Control-Repo, Martin Alfke, CEO at Example42
There are many tools and different ways on how to test Puppet code- We can choose between PDK and OnceOver. But which of the tools is the best to use? Join Martin as he explains the usage of PDK and OnceOver, and what must be done for unit testing a module and a control-repo. He’ll then move on to acceptance testing and explain the differences between beaker and litmus, and how to use them from either PDK or OnceOver.

Modules of the twenties, Alessandro Franceschi, CTO at Example42
Puppet modules have been fundamental in Puppet evolution and its ability to manage any component of a data center. Over the years, best practices and guidelines have been established and consolidated and new features like data in modules, plans, tasks and data types have been added. This presentation is a review, for the novice and intermediate users, of the most modern best practices and features of Puppet modules with insights on how to effectively use them to manage operations both with a declarative and an imperative approach.
R10k single control branch strategy, Corey Osman, Puppet and DevOps Consultant at NWOPS, LLC
For the longest time we have used a control branch for each puppet environment we desired. In many environments we use this strategy as part of our release process and merge upward to production (dev->qa->production). Recently R10k released a new feature that decouples each branch from the puppet environment. This allows for a more traditional branch management strategy that enables us to assign any git revision to any number of puppet environments. This talk will demonstrate the pros and cons of this strategy and how to setup and migrate to this new workflow.
