It’s so wonderful that there’s such a tremendous amount of resources available to Pinterest marketers. An excellent Pinterest Influencer Network I’ve come across that’s been really helpful to my biz is PinLeague. They’re basically a one-stop shop of Pinterest marketing resources definitely worth mentioning. Hope this helps and thanks.

The problem is you can easily just apt-get install a package in a few seconds whereas using Puppet you have to write out a proper manifest but the savings are in the long term when you have to deploy more servers of the same type and want to ensure everything is consistent. There’s nothing worse than trying to debug a problem which is caused by inconsistent packages across servers and you have no idea why something is working on one but not the other!

It can also help development because you can run Puppet on dev machines so they’re set up identically to production.

Trying to support the applications themselves as they rapidly change can be a lot of work!
