Puppet is a Configuration Management and deployment tool for administrative tasks.

This tool helps in automating the PROVISIONING, configuration, and management of INFRASTRUCTURE and Systems.

In simple words:

  • Puppet helps administrators to automate the process of MANUALLY creating and configuring Virtual machines.
  • Say, you have to bring up ‘n’ number of SERVERS with ‘x’ number of VMs(Virtual machines) on them. Each VM needs to be configured for certain users, groups, services, applications, and databases etc.
  • The entire infrastructure can be loaded up with the help of Puppet programs re-using the codes on multiple servers.
  • Key feature: Idempotency
  • The same set of configurations can be run multiple times to build a machine on a server, as puppet would allow only UNIQUE configurations to be run.
