}}} == Description == This tutorial will build awareness of open source configuration management (Puppet, Chef, Salt, and Ansible) and software deployment (Fabric) tools and best practices for use in experimentation. This tutorial consists of two parts: experimenters will discuss their experiences using these tools to run experiments on GENI; in the hands-on portion, attendees will do simple examples using two different tools, Chef and Ansible. The goal of the tutorial is to encourage experimenters to adopt a configuration management (CM) tool of their choice in their day-to-day experimentation. == Audience == ''Intermediate to Advanced.'' Primarily of interest to GENI experimenters, but also of interest to GENI and US Ignite developers. == Pre-requisites / Pre-work == Some familiarity with the concept of using GENI for experimentation is recommended. Hands-on participants must know how to reserve resources in GENI using an existing RSpec and how to log into nodes using SSH with a private key. == Agenda == * Slides: [attachment: pptx] * Instructions: [wiki: web]
