Puppet 9 is coming, and we’re here to walk you through what you’ll need to know before you upgrade. This foundational release is designed to keep your infrastructure automation secure, compliant, and supported for the long term. While it won't flood you with new user-facing features, it makes significant investments under the hood: modernizing the platform so it remains trustworthy, maintainable, and ready for faster innovation down the road.
In this session, we'll walk you through exactly what's changed, and we'll show you how to prepare your environment for a smooth upgrade, with a practical, step-by-step pre-flight checklist.
If your organization cares about security posture, regulatory compliance, or long-term supportability, this webinar will give you the clarity and confidence you need to plan your upgrade. You'll leave knowing what to test, what to migrate, and what to expect.
