Daily Term: Puppet

Puppet

Puppet is a configuration management tool that automates the provisioning and management of infrastructure. It uses a declarative language to define the desired state of systems (e.g., ensuring a package is installed), and Puppet’s agents enforce that state on servers. For example, Puppet might ensure all web servers have the same Apache version. Puppet is powerful for large-scale environments, but it requires setting up a master-agent architecture and learning its DSL.
