Today, an estimated 67% of network devices are still managed manually, a reality that slows down innovation, introduces risk, and consumes valuable resources.
Automation is no longer optional:
Automation becomes critical as organizations expand technology footprint further into edge environments. The recent Cisco ASA and IOS critical vulnerabilities are a stark reminder of how hard it is to update thousands of devices without automation.
IT and Platform Engineering teams simply can’t keep pace with the scale, speed, and growing complexity of modern infrastructure without the assistance of a unified solution that helps provide visibility, consistency, and governance – everywhere infrastructure lives.
In this 40-Minute session, you’ll join three experts as they discuss and demonstrate the capabilities of Puppet Edge - available for all editions of Puppet – and learn how Puppet helps organizations manage complex infrastructure by:
- Automating network and edge infrastructure alongside servers
- Unifying task-based control and desired state automation across your estate
- Reusing existing playbooks and automation without multiple license costs
- Strengthening security with governance-led automation across hybrid infrastructure
You’ll hear unique perspectives from:
- Margaret Lee, Product leader shaping the future of Puppet Enterprise Advanced.
- Robin Tatam, Automation evangelist connecting customer needs with product value.
- Jason St-Cyr, practitioner and DevOps community advocate, sharing real-word use cases from the field.
Together, they’ll show how Puppet Enterprise Advanced (with Edge capabilities available for all editions) delivers the scale and innovation required to manage infrastructure consistently across servers, network devices, and edge environments.
