Puppet Trainings

Puppet is a tool for managing and automating the configuration of servers. Users define the desired system condition in the infrastructure that they want to manage. This takes place by writing infrastructure code in Puppet’s domain-specific language, Puppet Code, which can be used with a variety of devices and operating systems. ATIX offers various Puppet training courses for users of different levels. Have a look!
