Perforce Puppet
Secure, scalable automation built for the modern enterprise to streamline IT operations
Perforce Puppet is an infrastructure automation and configuration management platform that uses desired state automation to keep servers, networks, cloud, and edge environments secure, compliant, and consistent. It addresses the problem of manual configuration and configuration drift by defining required state once, enforcing it continuously, and producing audit-ready evidence as systems are managed. The platform supports on-premises, hybrid, sovereign, air-gapped, and cloud environments, with agent and agentless approaches.
The product line includes Puppet Core, Puppet Enterprise, and Puppet Enterprise Advanced. Puppet Core provides hardened, vendor-backed builds, SLA-backed CVE remediation, Security Compliance Enforcement modules aligned with CIS Benchmarks and DISA STIGs, and training from Certified Puppet Engineers. Puppet Enterprise adds a web-based GUI, RBAC, centralized self-service automation, automated patching, and AI-powered insights. Puppet Enterprise Advanced extends this with event-driven workflows, data exports, automated reporting, and the ServiceNow Spoke. Integrations include VMware, macOS, Argo CD, Jenkins, Dynatrace, Datadog, New Relic, Tenable Nessus, and Splunk. Puppet Core is available under a free Developer License for up to 25 nodes, with commercial licensing for larger deployments; Enterprise and Advanced editions are available through custom quotes.
