Summary

In this chapter, we introduced the main components of Puppet infrastructure. We highlighted the key points of a puppet agent run and the communication that takes place. We then moved on to talk about communication and how the X509 certificates are used by Puppet. We used Puppet's REST API to download and inspect certificates. In the next chapter, we will talk about Puppet manifests and how one can troubleshoot problems with code.
