Puppet is a configuration management tool developed by Puppet Labs written in Ruby Language in order to automate
infrastructure management and configuration.

Features of Puppet System


Idempotency
Puppet supports Idempotency which means anyone can safely run the same set of configuration multiple times on the same
machine.

Cross-platform
In Puppet, we can target the specified configuration of systems without worrying about the implementation details.

Reusable configuration
In Puppet, it is easily rolls out configurations onto other systems, without needing to alter a single line in the Puppet
metaconfiguration.

Data collection
Puppet uses Facter which collect structure data about the systems that we can use anywhere in our manifests.
