Puppet – Data center automation and configuration management
August 2, 2010 by christian · Leave a Comment
Puppet is an open source data center automation and configuration management framework. Puppet provides system administrators with a simplified platform that allows for consistent, transparent, and flexible systems management. Puppet lets System Administrators spend less time on mundane tasks and instead focus on managing their infrastructure strategically. Puppet’s declarative language describes your system configuration, allowing you to easily reproduce any configuration on any number of additional systems. Additionally, Puppet can help establish and enforce approved system configurations automatically correcting systems that drift from their baseline. Puppet provides an audit trail of all your systems, which can easily be kept in version control for compliance purposes. Whether you have a small, heterogeneous network of user workstations or a cluster of rack-mounted number-crunchers, Puppet can help reduce your overhead and get the everyday management of your network under control so you can concentrate on the real problems.
