Configuration Management with Puppet
Continuous Configuration Automation to Enforce Desired State at Scale
Building and maintaining golden images; running commands and scripts by hand to configure machines – manual configuration management leads to rework, image sprawl, a lack of control over critical infrastructure.
You need a reliable way to automate infrastructure configuration and deployment while scaling for future growth. Continuous configuration automation tools from Puppet are the only solution built with enterprise scalability in mind.

Configuration Management Made Easy with Puppet
- Define and enforce configurations across operating systems, middleware, and applications in a programmatic way
- Define, test, and deploy changes with infrastructure as code using task-oriented or model-driven workflows
- Assess configurations, lay down baselines, and automate standards for continuous enforcement of desired state
- Manage the state of your infrastructure with a dashboard view of inventory across the organization and track exceptions in a repeatable way
Control Drift with Continuous Configuration Automation Tools from Puppet
- Manage changes at scale with control and auditability; track and report on corrective and intentional changes from a centralized interface
- Reduce operational risk with a consistent and predictable environment that meets security and compliance requirements
- Easily manage drift between the desired and actual configuration state with continuous configuration automation
- Never be caught off-guard with Puppet's agent-based drift alerting
- Safely scale automation across teams with greater insight into proposed code changes while avoiding conflict and collisions

Reduce Risk and Maintain Compliance with Automation
- Stay compliant with automated patching workflows and eliminate multiple tools, and manual, error prone processes
- Build security, compliance, and operational policies right into your infrastructure code with policy-as-code
- Enforce your system’s desired state, automatically assess compliance with specific guidelines such as CIS and NIS
Automate More Infrastructure, Tasks + Workflows with Puppet Modules
- Take advantage of over 6,000 modules built by Puppet experts and the Puppet community
- Automate the infrastructure management lifecycle, from deployment to recycling and decommissioning resources
- Supercharge and simplify automation processes with step-by-step guides and tutorials

Everyone wants to have stability while still being fast; that’s one of the main objectives we have for configuration management. Puppet helps us to get to that point, so we can quickly build and configure systems that are standardized — and when you become standardized, you become more stable.— Tom Sabin, IT Manager for Cloud & Automation, Staples
