Community Spotlight: Corey's Bitcoin Miner

We're all familiar with Puppet's main forte; that of managing configuration for computers, servers, cloud instances, etc. But as with any tool, community members often… color outside the lines.

Carrying on with our community spotlight series, this episode highlights one of those unusual usages. Corey Osman started this project by using Puppet to manage tiny IoT devices but ended up building a whole management framework out of Puppet and Bolt technologies. Let's get started and hear his story.

Today's musical intro was recorded by Manny, a software engineer on our hosted services team.

*Ben Ford is a developer advocate at Puppet.*
