Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Puppet Data Center Automation as a configuration management tool in our organization. It allows us to maintain a constant baseline as well as make easy updates across many servers.

Pros

  • Maintain a solid baseline across many servers.
  • Apply updates to many servers.
  • Easy to make changes all in one place rather than on 50 servers.

Cons

  • No GUI for non sys-admin users.
  • Ruby syntax is troubling at times.
  • No automated deployment.

Likelihood to Recommend

Puppet Data Center Automation is more suited for many servers. It is less appropriate for a one server architecture.
