Tools and Integration
James Turnbull, Jeffrey McCune · Apress eBooks · 2011
Puppet, by itself, provides a large number of features and functionality. As you’ve learned so far in this book, Puppet enables you to manage the configuration state of a wide variety of resources. Files, users, groups, software packages and running services are prime examples. Configuration management is an extremely complex and multi-faceted problem, however, and as result we cannot expect Puppet alone to address every problem. In this chapter, we cover a number of additional tools that work extremely well with Puppet. These tools address many of the problems Puppet alone does not address. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
