About Puppet Enterprise
Puppet Enterprise is the commercial IT operations platform from Perforce Puppet, designed to automate, scale and secure infrastructure. It builds on Puppet's configuration management approach, where desired system state is described in code and enforced across servers.
The Perforce Puppet product line splits into Puppet Core, a core configuration management and automation tool, and Puppet Enterprise, with professional services for managed Puppet support. The vendor lists capabilities across automation, configuration management, DevSecOps, compliance, CI/CD and patching. Resources include Puppet Forge for modules, premium modules, training, documentation and a system hardening assessment.
Industry pages target government, healthcare, financial services, retail and software services. Puppet Enterprise is generally deployed on an organization's own infrastructure, with demos and a pricing page offered by the vendor.
