Introduction to the orchestration of Chef and Puppet solutions using AWS OpsWorks
In this section, we will provide a quick introduction to another configuration management and orchestration service known as AWS OpsWorks. AWS offers three different services that fall under the AWS OpsWorks offering. There are AWS OpsWorks stacks and AWS OpsWorks for Chef Automate, which let you use Chef cookbooks for configuration management. The third service is OpsWorks for Puppet Enterprise, which lets you configure a Puppet Enterprise master server in AWS.
OpsWorks for Puppet Enterprise provides a fully managed Puppet master server that is used to communicate with, configure, deploy, and manage your nodes – which could be EC2 instances or even on-premises servers. The service also takes care of handling tasks such as software and operating system configurations, package installations, database setups, and more.
