You face an increasingly complex environment – demand for faster deployments, proliferating virtual machines, greater responsibility for internal compliance policies, dynamic cloud infrastructures – and yet are asked to “do more with less” while maintaining enterprise-class service levels. And you recognize that manual processes, home-grown scripts, and golden images are not allowing you to deliver business results fast enough or within budget.
The Solution: Puppet Enterprise 2.0
Puppet Enterprise 2.0 gives you the operational agility, efficiency and insight you demand to manage dynamic infrastructure, on-premise or in the cloud.
- Start managing in minutes with a simple graphical user interface for discovering, configuring and managing your infrastructure
- Quickly increase capacity with rapid provisioning of VMware and Amazon EC2 instances and seamlessly migrate applications across private and public clouds
- Increase productivity with the orchestration of critical tasks across clusters of nodes
- Ensure compliance with change management policies by visually monitoring changes to any resource against a desired-state baseline
- Avoid downtime and increase reliability by simulating and testing changes to your infrastructure before you deploy them
What’s New in Puppet Enterprise 2.0
Discover Resources and Their Relationships
Through the new GUI, right out-of-the-box PE 2.0 automatically discovers all resources – packages, hosts, groups, and users. With Puppet Enterprise you define the desired-state of your infrastructure as relationships between resources. Immediately start seeing results without having to learn CLI commands or the Puppet DSL.
Visually Clone Resources To Scale Quickly, Efficiently, and Reliably
Because you need to scale quickly without sacrificing service levels, PE 2.0’s new GUI allows you to visually browse, select, and clone resources across nodes, saving you time and ensuring consistency across your infrastructure.
Quickly Deploy Critical Updates with a Single Command
Critical updates, such as security vulnerabilities, require fast yet coordinated action. PE 2.0’s new orchestration capability allows you to query your infrastructure to discover the vulnerable nodes and then, with a single command, schedule simultaneous updates. Upon completion, PE 2.0 gives you a single aggregated report of the results.
Monitor Changes, Enforce Compliance Policies
How is your infrastructure changing over time? With PE 2.0’s new compliance capability, you now can visually monitor for any unauthorized changes against your desired-state baseline. Quickly and efficiently get the insights you need to create and support your change management and auditing policies.
Rapidly Add Virtual Machines and Cloud Capacity
PE 2.0’s new provisioning capability allows you to quickly and easily create new instances of VMware and Amazon EC2. Then, you can configure and manage these instances using the same manifests you created for your physical infrastructure. Swiftly respond to changing capacity demands while future-proofing your investment in infrastructure configuration and management.
