PuppetConf 2015

Puppet 4 has many new features which will bring new power to Puppet users. But: with great power comes great responsibility. Which means that Puppet 4 will break with old, no-longer-best-practice stuff. The talk will give an overview on the new features and the deprecations and tries to provide information for a proper upgrade path. We will talk about Puppet packaging, the Puppet Server, the environments, the new data functions, the data types, the deprecations, and the how to upgrade. This talk is meant for people already having Puppet in place and who want to learn about the new features. People not using Puppet so far will get an understanding of why getting Puppet 4 is a good idea.
