We (I work for Puppet Labs) just shipped a module that allows for managing some parts of AWS using the Puppet DSL. https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-aws This module is a preview, it's not able to manage everything in AWS at the moment but we're adding more support soon. We'd love to know what else you'd like to be able to do with it though. With regards AWS, on the network/firewall front you might want to look at AWS VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) http://aws.amazon.com/vpc/. This would allow you to create a VPN between your internal firewalls and AWS, basically extending your network. In terms of Puppet code on the AWS instances, assuming you're running the same operating system in AWS and your local infrastructure, your Puppet modules should work exactly the same.
