Today we (Puppet Labs) announced the release of Puppet Enterprise 1.0.
This has been the big project I’ve been working on since I left Google for the life of being a product manager at a startup software company. Lack of sleep, worrying about names, trying impose order on the birthing process…. it’s not that unlike real babies.
I’m proud of Puppet Enterprise.
Puppet is an awesomely powerful tool, but it does take some effort to get a scalable deployment going. It’s not a lot of work if you’re a reasonably experienced sysadmin, but some people simply don’t have the time.
We’ve launched with support for RHEL, CentOS, OEL, Debian and Ubuntu, and I’m particularly looking forward to our upcoming Mac OS X version. I may have left the MacEnterprise.org world behind, but all my Mac IT peeps still hold a special place in my heart.
There’s barely time to take a breath now 1.0 is out, as I’m heading off to FOSDEM in a couple of days to run the configuration management devroom with James Turnbull.
I’m planning to conduct some in-depth quality control inspections of Belgian beer while I’m in Brussels. Suggestions for inspection locations are more than welcome.
