Puppet

Puppet helps organizations automate the configuration and governance of infrastructure at scale. Its core model is based on defining a desired state and continuously enforcing that state across operating systems, middleware and applications. This reduces manual configuration work and helps prevent configuration drift, a common source of operational and security weaknesses. Puppet also supports policy as code and compliance automation, allowing teams to translate security baselines and organizational requirements into repeatable checks and enforcement workflows. Its compliance capabilities can be aligned with frameworks such as CIS Benchmarks, giving security and infrastructure teams a more consistent way to assess and remediate configuration gaps. The platform can operate across on-premises, cloud and hybrid environments, making it useful for enterprises with diverse infrastructure. Puppet is especially relevant to infrastructure engineering, DevOps, security operations and compliance teams that need consistent configuration across large fleets.
