Improve Infrastructure With Puppet
Deploying software and managing infrastructure is a race and the winners are able to scale and deliver value quickly. This is why all infrastructure, whether public cloud, private cloud, on-premise or hybrid, should have the ability to be flexible and allow for innovation.
In order to gain or maintain a competitive edge, teams need to implement DevOps and a system of continuous integration / continuous delivery (CI/CD). Using and managing infrastructure needs configuration management and that’s where Puppet comes in. Configuration Management is crucial to the success of a DevOps or CI/CD implementation, and Puppet is one of the most common configuration management tools available to enterprise. SPK has years of DevOps and Puppet experience and can help you manage your infrastructure in order to deliver consistent and quality digital products.

Why Trust Puppet For Configuration Management?
Puppet is the leading, industry standard IT automation and delivery tool. It allows organizations to enforce consistent configurations across their entire fleet of servers, thereby reducing the risk of human error and improving overall quality. Configurations can be treated as code for full traceability, and they can be applied in a fully automated fashion to help minimize IT Operations work. Puppet plays a critical role in many DevOps environments, and SPK can help you determine where it best fits in.

How Does Puppet Work?
Puppet is a configuration management tool, which is systems engineering process for establishing consistency of a product’s attributes throughout its life. In this case, Puppet accomplishes the management of an IT environment by installing a Puppet agent on the nodes of the network you want to manage. This allows the Puppet master environment to collect data about the nodes, which are considered Facts. This hub-and-spoke method allows an administrator to make changes to one type of Puppet configuration and have it deploy to hundreds or thousands of nodes in it’s network. This network can be a mixture of device types (servers, routers, switches, workstations, laptops, etc) and network types (i.e. on-premise servers, virualized environments, public or private cloud).
