In this chapter, we mentioned Puppet and SaltStack:

• Puppet is a configuration management tool that runs a server/agent configuration. It comes in two flavors—an open source version and an enterprise version that Puppet, the company, supports. It is a declarative system and is closely tied to Ruby. For more information on Puppet, see https://www.puppet.com/.
• SaltStack is another configuration management tool. It is highly scalable and, while it shares a design approach with Ansible, it works in a similar way to Puppet in that it has a server/agent approach. You can find more information on SaltStack at https://www.vmware.com/support/acquisitions/saltstack.html.
• I also mentioned my personal blog, which you can find at https://www.russ.foo/.

We used the following Ansible modules, and you can find out more information on each module at the following links:
