Puppet Brings Orchestration to IT Automation

Puppet today unveiled its summer release of Puppet Enterprise that promises to make it easier for DevOps teams to construct automated workflows within a Puppet console. DevOps teams can now mix and match thousands of declarative state-based modules available on Puppet Forge repository to compose and orchestrate workflows.

Puppet CTO Deepak Giridharagopal said in the wake of the economic downturn brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, more IT teams will need to rely heavily on automation.

Rather, investments in automation will augment those teams in a way that enables IT teams to scale. In fact, Giridharagopal said, resistance to IT automation is declining as IT teams continue to appreciate the scope of the challenge they now face as IT environments not only continue to expand but also become more heterogeneous.
