Puppet introduced Puppet Enterprise 2018.1 and Puppet Discovery.
With one of the newest additions to the Puppet portfolio, Puppet Discovery, users can discover and take action on what’s running across their IT estate.
Puppet Discovery treats traditional, cloud, and container-based infrastructure and applications as first-class citizens. It features an intuitive dashboard that provides insights about infrastructure — and gives users the power to automate and manage it.
Puppet Discovery will be generally available in mid-May 2018.
Puppet Enterprise 2018.1, the latest version of Puppet Enterprise, includes enhancements that empower customers with the breadth and depth they need to automate infrastructure faster and more securely.
New functionality includes:
- Puppet Tasks role-based access control, which allows users to define node groups corresponding to business functions or units, and offers fine-grained control over who can run tasks across these node groups.
- Puppet Bolt integration with Puppet Orchestrator enables users to run Bolt task plans—a set of tasks run in a specific sequence as part of an orchestrated deployment—against hundreds of thousands of Puppet Enterprise nodes using the highly scalable Puppet Orchestrator. The execution of those plans can be tracked in the Puppet Enterprise console.
- A faster, more user-friendly console that delivers significant accessibility improvements for users with a screen reader, that work exclusively with a keyboard or that see color uniquely.
- Support of Puppet Development Kit (PDK) for Puppet Enterprise, including support for the new resource API, which makes it easier for Puppet developers to create custom types and providers, and allows for agentless operations.
- Simplified backup and recovery features that provide an added layer of automation for disaster recovery and ongoing business continuity efforts.
New to the Puppet Enterprise family is Continuous Delivery for PE. The new offering brings the continuous integration, continuous delivery (CI/CD) experience that developers love to the world of infrastructure-as-code, helping standardize the way customers deliver their infrastructure. Ops teams can now use the same tools and interface as their dev teams to build, test and promote Puppet code through a standardized delivery pipeline. Continuous Delivery for Puppet Enterprise will be available in June.
