Puppet Development Kit makes coding easy as 1-2-3

Automation software provider Puppet has released a new development kit to enables users to easily write Puppet code.

The Puppet Development Kit improves the ability of its users to develop Puppet code through a single bundle of tools with a unified interface. The release comes hot off the heels of Puppet’s recent new product updates, Lumogon and Puppet Cloud Discovery, further bolstering its strong product offering.

Leveraging the Puppet Development Kit, users can now:

• Quickly get started developing modules using best practices and new tools that enable users to develop, test and publish high-quality Puppet modules with confidence;
• Shift quality to the left by catching issues earlier and faster before Puppet code is applied to production infrastructure;
• Unit test modules from Windows, OS X and Linux workstations to ensure that Puppet code is creating and managing configuration resources as intended; and
• Develop and share even more high-quality content from Windows, OS X and Linux workstations.

Speaking about the release, Puppet’s chief product officer Omri Gazitt explained how it will help unify processes within software development:

“Writing Puppet code should be a radically intuitive, self-service experience.

“The Puppet Development Kit gives users a proven path to unify their fragmented processes, consolidate tools and standardise the way that they get software in the hands of their customers and end users.”
