I was over in Sydney this week attending linux.conf.au 2018 and made a short presentation at the Sysadmin miniconf regarding deploying Puppet in cloud environments.

The majority of this talk covers the Puppet autosigning process which is a big potential security headache if misconfigured. If you’re deploying Puppet (or even some other config management system) into the cloud, I recommend checking this one out (~15mins) and making sure your own setup doesn’t have any issues.
