TALK DESCRIPTION:
Title: Puppet Bolt - Limitless automation with agentless, multi-platform solution

Puppet Bolt's agentless multi-platform solution allows you to get started with automation, without requiring an agent or any Puppet knowledge.

Driven through a command line interface (CLI) Puppet Bolt connects to remote systems via SSH & WinRM, can run in any language & is compatible with many of the tools you use today. You can use Puppet Bolt to run one-off tasks, & if you already use scripts to automate the provisioning & management of some nodes, you can use Puppet Bolt to move a step beyond scripts, & make them shareable.

Reuse existing scripts in Bash, PowerShell, Python or any other language. You can perform various tasks like start & stop services, reboot remote systems, gather packages & systems facts from your workstation or laptop on any platform (Linux & Windows).

Take advantage of more than 5,700 modules available on the Puppet Forge for everything from deploying database servers to setting up Docker or Kubernetes.

Enjoy limitless automation with Puppet Bolt.
