Which training should i go for?

[Matthias Fraidl]

Hi Puppet-folks,

in April 2015 i visited a "Puppet Fundamentals Training" in Vienna, the training was fine, by now i am managing most nodes of an anycast-nameservice with puppet (non-enterprise) - i am just using the "basic/slightly advanced" functionalities (e.g. self-written modules [to manage nameservers, bgp daemons, basic system configs], custom facts, etc.; hiera-backend for sure) but i am not using puppetdb, mcollective etc. and i am interested to learn more about the capabilities of puppet, and how to use them - so i am looking for another training to attend. 

At the moment i can't determine which training is better for me - the "Puppet Practitioner" or the "Puppet Architect" - so i am asking you to help me a bit further, to decide which one i should go for. 

Suggestions appreciated :-)

Best regards,

Matthias

Hi Matthias, If the main goal is getting deeper into writing puppet code, then the practitioner is your choice.  The architect does focus more on your puppet infrastructure. You should check the outline of both course which will be a great help in deciding which course fits best at the moment

https://learn.puppet.com/instructor-led-training/puppet-architect

https://learn.puppet.com/instructor-led-training/puppet-practitioner

Check also the https://learn.puppet.com/category/self-paced-training

Most (if not all) are free, and gave some good introduction to eg hiera, puppetdb etc

Have a nice weekend

Johan
