Using Puppet to Perform Configuration Management

Configure and administer system configurations by using a cross-platform software called Puppet. This tool enables you to manage subsystems in the Oracle Solaris OS and to automate common system configuration tasks for multiple nodes, including the following tasks:

  • View and modify Puppet resources

  • Define system configuration by writing Puppet site manifests, classes, and modules.

  • Configure other OS components and features such as ZFS file systems, networking, naming services, packaging, and so on.

For main reference about Puppet infrastructure, including installing the Puppet package, see Using Puppet to Perform Configuration Management in Oracle Solaris 11.4.
