IT management tool for automating multi-cloud infrastructure

About Puppet Enterprise

Puppet Enterprise is an IT management software designed to help businesses manage and automate the configuration of multi-cloud infrastructures via a unified platform. It enables IT teams to streamline application deployment timeframes, create, test, and deploy infrastructure codes, and automate operational workflows in real-time.

Puppet Enterprise offers a variety of features including security management, access control, reporting, license management, and more. Employees can use the existing code or shared content from Puppet Forge to organize tasks and create deployment strategies. The built-in patch management module allows users to scan computers, mobile devices, and other machines for due or missing software updates.

Puppet Enterprise offers an API, which lets businesses integrate the system with several third-party platforms, such as Amazon Web Services, Splunk, VMWare, Cisco, Red Hat, ServiceNow, Slack, Jenkins, and more. DevOps teams can also use the application to assess infrastructure compliance as per business requirements, detect issues or failures, conduct impact analysis, and generate remedial plans.

Precise Production Delivery Management - Puppet Enterprise does it Best!

1. Puppet Enterprise is a fantastic provider for your Infrastructure access provisions & permissions management.

2. Its convenient and user-friendly as it can be accessed and controlled remotely from any distribution.

3. Maintaining your deployment schedules is simplified because of its schedule management feature.

4. In order to perform my continuous delivery, I integrate it with Docker for multiple deployments at the same time.

5. For automation of your Infrastructure provisions, you can adapt to its workflow moderations which can efficiently approve your configurations and provide the necessities for your business requirement.

Pros

1. In order to regulate my consistency & efficiency in my Production deliverables, I make the most out of Puppet Enterprise.

2. It is spectacular for my migrations activity handled by various cloud vendors such as AWS, Azure and GCP.

3. It provides me a detailed report on the implementation's drift from the pre-existing configurations.

4. It upholds high level of compliance management which is the key when it comes to Production deployments.

5. I also make use of its Auto-scheduling feature for deploying resources is less critical environments such as Dev, QA and Tests.

Cons

1. Puppet Enterprise is based on Ruby Programming language, which is challenging when you compare it with other programming languages such as Python or Java.

2. Puppet Enterprise doesn't provide any Visualization utility with which you can conveniently track your provisions.

3. The community aid provided to Puppet Enterprise is trivial when comparing it with other Provisional tools such as Ansible, SaltStack & Chef.

Good Product for Mid & Larg Scales Env

Reviewed on 29/05/2023

Pros

Puppet is a good product to eliminate repeated works, such as pushing the same configuration across multiple systems. It also can be integrated with Foreman/Satellite for server management and provisioning.So, it's a must have product for managing mid to large scale of your IT infrastructure.Puppet is also capable of generating drift reports, which means sysadmins will understand what servers were configured improperly.Puppet also supports plugs to custom facts.

Cons

Mastering Puppet isn't an easy way.Setup of Puppet is often more difficult than Ansible.

Don't use this software - use Ansible (Tower) or Terraform

Poor - due to the custom Ruby coding (engineering level expertise required) it just doesn't scale for our enterprise.

Pros

Our use-case is NetApp storage cluster configuration management and conformance reporting. There was some puppet modules out on GitHub that are good for NetApp storage cluster management.

Cons

Puppet requires custom Ruby code to operate. Also it has very few NetApp-specific modules to make the transition successful. A lot of custom Ruby coding is require. Ansible has that plus the development and the support.

Pros

Puppet Enterprise shines as an automation powerhouse, replete with a vast range of modules and commendable open source community support.

Cons

Puppet Enterprise - A Enterprise level Automation Configuration

The role based access control help in managing the permission and access across different teams. With the help of Puppet Enterprise we deliver the product more faster and efficient way. It help in managing the application with simplified container-based software delivery. The best thing I like in it is configurable dashboard where we can put the things as per our priority and view the complete infrastructure and flow of the production line.

Pros

Puppet Enterprise is a complete configuration management tool that help us to deploy and get system ready. Earlier on same task it took week, now same can be configured in hours. By using the Puppet Enterprise we can focus on new problems face while configuring the system and make all the platform in sync. It is a productive tool which helps in automation and setting the IT infrastructure. It also helps us in adopting the DevOps practice like version control, code review, testing and in integration. The best thing in it is real time reporting with graphical dashboard where we can know the infrastructure and services configured. Task management help in executing script, automatic scaling when needed.

Cons

The number of feature and large capability of adopting the software life-cycle make it complex, Implementing & adopting the Puppet Enterprise also need efforts. Managing event should come with the authentication and logs. Node Management is an area where company should focus more. Writing the Puppet book should support some universal language.
