Hey,
I am interested in foreman provisioning and configuration management and I
installed it and it works fine but is there any easy materials to
understand what is going on and who to get start?
Thank you in advance,

so make sure you have some (virtual) machines that can utilize the
Foreman-Proxy DHCP and/or DNS. Create domains & subnets and assign them to
each other and to your first location/organization/hostgroup.
Foreman should've already provided you with a set of (maybe) working
templates. I leave these alone for reference, cloning them into my own.
But for starters you should at least get something out of them. Verify that
your first operating system of choice has default templates for all
categories and an operating system mirror.
Most of the concepts are pretty well explained in the
manual:Foreman :: Manual
Now you should be able to create your first host; you'll need a MAC address
of it, and an IP address. Assign it an operating system and fill in the
other necessary fields.
Then you can start booting the machine up to see if that all works.
Probably you'll have to do some tweaking & tuning to get it this far.
Once you've actually got your first installation running you can start
worrying about Puppet/Smart Variables.

Good luck!
