After
finishing Enterprise Architecture, it was time to choose a technology that I
wanted to specialise in. Although, choosing one did not guarantee being trained
in it, preference did play a part in what technology we were to be placed in.
The choices were out of Pega, DevOps, Cloud and Mulesoft. We had to pick which
one we wanted to do by standing in a corner of the room which was represented
by one of the technologies. I decided to pick DevOps because the Continuous
Integration week that we had was definitely my favourite week at QA and so it
just seemed to be the natural choice for me. I won’t specify which one, but I
did find it amusing that one of the four technologies was chosen by anyone and
people were trying to push themselves further into their own technology’s
corner to get as far from that technology as possible.
DevOps started out with learning
about Puppet. Puppet is open-source software which grants the ability to
configure “nodes” from a host machine known as the puppet master. It started by
using vagrant to setup a Puppet Master and a Puppet Agent virtual machine. Once
set up, I completed Puppet Quest which is an online guide that runs through how
Puppet works. Using the Puppet Master, I was able to configure parts of the Puppet
Agent environment.
