Hi Shamil: There appears to be an article or two on MS Hyper-V and Puppet. http://puppetlabs.com/presentations/using-puppet-deploying-hyper-v-openstack-compute-nodes It would seem logical as Hyper-V is actually a product developed on OpenSuse Linux project, by a Microsoft development crew. This may be one reason why the Hyper-V server can not be sold as much of the internal workings are open licensed technology.

Yes. > If you find some good tutorials please let me know. This one seems to be good for starters: "Puppet Tutorial for Linux: Powering up with Puppet" http://bitfieldconsulting.com/puppet-tutorial Here is a "Learning Puppet" VM: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/learning/ (Unfortunately there is no Hyper-V VM version - hopefully they make one real soon as they announced cooperation with MS Windows Azure). BTW, I have read somewhere that with Puppet manifest files you describe *what* target system configuration you wanted to get built by running Puppet not *how* this target system configuration should be built. And you can get at *any* target system configuration starting from *any* source system configuration. Correct? - it sounds quite a bit sci-fi/AI for me. Well, all that "magic" could probably happen within one operation system only. Now, if Hans could tutor us how to write a Puppet manifest file to get Ubuntu Xfce setting-up for a clean Ubuntu 12.x DigitalOcean droplet? :) Here is intial info on " How To Install Puppet on a DigitalOcean VPS": https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-puppet-on-a-digitalocean-vps https://github.com/jalli/puppet-module-xfce/blob/master/manifests/init.pp Thank you. -- Shamil Sat, 5 Apr 2014 21:45:21 -0600 (MDT) from Jim Lawrence <accessd at shaw.ca>: >Hi Shamil: > >Glad to hear everything worked out well.
