**Purpose**:
Puppet is another declarative configuration management tool that excels in system configuration and enforcement. Like Ansible, it's designed to maintain the desired state of a system's configuration but uses a client-server (master-agent) architecture by default.

!!! note "Assumptions"
    This document assumes you are deploying Puppet server onto Rocky Linux 9.4.  Any version of RHEL/CentOS/Alma/Rocky should behave similarily.

### Deployment Steps:
You will need to perform a few steps outlined in the [official Puppet documentation](https://www.puppet.com/docs/puppet/7/install_puppet.html) to get a Puppet server operational.  A summarized workflow is seen below:

``` sh
# Add Puppet Repository / Enable Puppet on YUM
sudo rpm -Uvh https://yum.puppet.com/puppet7-release-el-9.noarch.rpm

# PLACEHOLDER
```
