Puppet
An automated administrative engine for Linux, Unix, and Windows systems that performs tasks based on centralized specifications.
What is Puppet?
Puppet is an open-source configuration management tool that automates the administration of Linux, Unix, and Windows systems. It allows system administrators to define infrastructure configurations as code and enforce those configurations across all managed nodes from a centralized specification. This solves the problem of manual, error-prone server management by ensuring consistency, compliance, and repeatability in IT operations.
System administrators, DevOps engineers, and IT operations teams responsible for managing large-scale server infrastructure across multiple platforms. It's particularly valuable for organizations needing consistent configuration enforcement and automated administrative tasks.
Developers choose Puppet for its mature, declarative approach to infrastructure automation that works across diverse operating systems. Its centralized model and idempotent operations provide reliable configuration enforcement with reduced manual intervention compared to scripting-based solutions.
