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 to get a Puppet server operational. A summarized workflow is seen below:
Install Puppet Repository
Installation Scope: Puppet Server / Managed Devices
# Add Puppet Repository / Enable Puppet on YUM
sudo rpm -Uvh https://yum.puppet.com/puppet7-release-el-9.noarch.rpm
Install Puppet Server
Installation Scope: Puppet Server
# Install the Puppet Server
yum install -y puppetserver
systemctl enable --now puppetserver
# Validate Successful Deployment
exec bash
puppetserver -v
Install Puppet Agent
Installation Scope: Puppet Server / Managed Devices
# Install Puppet Agent
sudo yum install puppet-agent
