DevOps Engineers spend more time configuring their machines, deploying changes manually and dealing with any subsequent errors instead of actually building solutions that can be more helpful. And that is exactly where Puppet becomes an important player. Puppet allows you to automate the tasks that you already know how to do, which includes configuring and deploying changes to virtual machines.
Puppet is a configuration management tool that automates the way you inspect, deliver and operate your infrastructure and software. This is a powerful language that describes how to get machines to a desired state and as a tool, it interprets an applies those changes. Puppet is slightly more complicated when compared to other configuration tools such as Ansible and Chef. However, it comes with a number of amazing tools and features.
So, if you want to spend less time fighting fires on virtual machines and instead spend more time working on solutions that can be helpful, then this is the course for you!
