Puppet 5 Essentials

Puppet is a configuration management tool that allows you to automate all your IT configurations, giving you control over what you do to each Puppet Agent in a network, and when and how you do it. In this age of digital delivery and ubiquitous Internet presence, it's becoming increasingly important to implement scale-able and portable solutions, not only in terms of software, but also the system that runs it.
