Sessions
Compliance as Code shouldn’t stop at a single operating system. With Compliance Engine, we’ve expanded support beyond the traditional RHEL family to include Windows systems, and we’re working toward Ubuntu/Debian as well. This talk will explore the challenges and lessons learned while bringing compliance data and enforcement to multiple platforms. We’ll discuss differences in compliance frameworks, strategies for testing and verification, and how to keep compliance data consistent and reusable across diverse environments.
Over the past year, we’ve migrated dozens of Puppet modules to OpenVox. This talk focuses on the technical aspects of migration from tooling and automation to testing strategies, providing a roadmap for others facing the same challenges.
Modern Puppet module development requires more than just local Vagrant tests. In this talk, we’ll explore Beaker providers like beaker-kubevirt and beaker-google, and show how they make it possible to test modules in Kubernetes and cloud environments. We’ll also demonstrate how to integrate Beaker tests into CI pipelines using GitLab CI and GitHub Actions, making acceptance testing easier and more reliable.
