Bolt: Uniting Models and Tasks

One of Puppet’s big strengths is declarative automation – you model the desired end state of your infrastructure and Puppet does the hard work of enforcing it. This concept is quite powerful and has become the industry standard for configuration management. But sometimes your workflow doesn't quite fit into that pattern. Sometimes you really do need to deploy point-in-time changes, or mix imperative and declarative approaches together in a single workflow.With Bolt, we've learned from the lessons of Puppet and used those to design the next generation of infrastructure automation. Listen as Eric Sorenson and Yasmin Rajabi explain the tools of the future.The music in this episode is part of a live performance Eric Sorenson, Puppet Director of Product, prepared for Volt Divers.
