puppetlabs-aws
A Puppet module for managing AWS resources to build and model cloud infrastructure using Puppet code.
What is puppetlabs-aws?
Puppetlabs-aws is a Puppet module that enables infrastructure as code on Amazon Web Services by allowing users to drive the AWS API through Puppet. It provides a declarative way to create, manage, and model relationships between AWS resources like EC2 instances, VPCs, security groups, and load balancers. The module brings Puppet's idempotent, declarative model to AWS, allowing users to treat their cloud infrastructure as manageable, version-controlled code.
Puppet users and system administrators who manage AWS infrastructure and want to apply Puppet's configuration management principles to their cloud resources. It is specifically for teams already using Puppet for on-premises or other infrastructure who need to extend that tooling to AWS.
Developers choose this module because it integrates AWS management directly into the Puppet ecosystem, allowing them to use a single tool for both cloud and traditional infrastructure. Its unique selling point is the ability to model dependencies and relationships between AWS components using Puppet's declarative language, and manage resources directly from the command line with `puppet resource`.
