Puppet Agent 7 - Filebucket hash algorithm update

Puppet 7 upgrades the default filebucket hash digest algorithm from MD5 to SHA256, which is generally a good thing. However, this makes upgrades just a little tricky. The mitigation for this is simply to set your digest algorithm to SHA256 on server and agent both before upgrade. Gabriel shows us how to do so in this video.

A Platform to Automate All The Things

In my seven months at Puppet, I continue to be amazed at the opportunity we have to drive value in some of the biggest companies and institutions in the world. Automation is no longer a nice to have -- it’s a must. As more companies further their cloud strategies to include cloud-native infrastructures, the complexity increases, making automation indispensable.

Puppet and Relay: The Future of Hybrid Cloud Automation

Over the past year, we’ve talked to people building and operating the next generation of applications. Across the map, we saw cloud-native applications built upon an ever-increasing number of public cloud infrastructure APIs, tools, and managed services. Modern infrastructure lets anyone create automation, not just a few gatekeepers. This shift is powerful, but comes at the cost of complexity, which we built Relay to manage.
