 Puppet is an open-source configuration management and automation tool.

 

Puppet is an open-source configuration management and automation tool that helps system administrators automate repetitive tasks, such as configuring and maintaining servers, deploying software, managing databases, and more.

Puppet uses declarative language to describe system configuration, which allows administrators to define the desired end state of a system and Puppet will automatically make the necessary changes to achieve that state.

Puppets can also be used to audit existing systems and report on differences between the actual state of the system and the desired state.

It allows them to define the state of their IT infrastructure, which can then be automatically enforced.

Puppet provides powerful features such as resource abstraction and modeling, a declarative language, and support for multiple platforms.

With Puppet, system administrators can define the desired state of their IT infrastructure, and Puppet will ensure that the desired state is always maintained.
