Puppet 3 Install With Unicorn & Nginx in CentOS

centos

How to install Puppet 3 on CentOS / RHEL 6 with Unicorn & Nginx for maximum efficiency. You can read more about why Unicorn is great because it’s Unix, in short it’s a much better option than Webrick (very slow) and no more work to setup than Mongrel (in my opinion). In this tutorial I couple Unicorn withNginx for optimial puppet master performance per dollar spent.
