Puppet Extended Agent Support provides extended support that helps maintain security, compliance, and operational continuity when operating system upgrades are not immediately feasible. Unlike unsupported agents or costly manual workarounds, Puppet enables organizations to continue managing and securing eligible end-of-life OS environments while reducing risk and gaining time to plan and execute a successful migration.
With Extended Agent Support You Will Get:
- Security patch support for the Puppet Agent required to maintain an environment using an out-of-support operating system.
- Critical CVE patches for Security Compliance Enforcement.
- Best effort support for CD and Security Compliance Manager.
Stay Compliant While You Plan Your Move
When application dependencies prevent immediate OS upgrades, maintain support for the Puppet capabilities required to help satisfy audit, security, and compliance requirements until migration can occur.
Reduce Risk to Business Critical Applications
Avoid rushed operating system upgrades or migrations that may introduce outages, application instability, or unexpected business disruption.
Extend the Value of Existing Infrastructure Investments
Continue leveraging Puppet automation and compliance capabilities for eligible ELS/EOL operating systems while developing a long-term modernization strategy.
