Hi everyone - Today, we announced the latest in Puppet Enterprise 2016.2 (available beginning later this month), a new set of Puppet modules and integrations, and more from Project Blueshift. These updates continue to make it easier to manage today’s technology while evolving your modern cloud and container practices, in a standard way.
*Check out What’s New in Puppet Enterprise 2016.2* - *New change success reporting *- The Puppet Enterprise 2016.2 release provides a new level of granularity to show which changes that ran with a cached catalog were successful, which failed, and which failed but were able to revert to the last known, good state. This means that you can get a clearer sense of how failures affect the environments you are managing. - *Classify nodes in Puppet Enterprise web UI based on structured and trusted facts *- Without granular access to metadata about infrastructure, it can be challenging to classify and manage servers efficiently and make rapid changes. The Puppet Enterprise node classifier web UI now consumes richer metadata about infrastructure so nodes can be segmented with more granularity to drive change more quickly, efficiently and with greater consistency. *You can register for our upcoming webinar to learn more about what's new: * http://info.puppet.com/2150-Whats-New-in-PE-2016.1-Register.html *A Common Language and Data Center Standard* We've also added to the broad range of technology you can manage with Puppet through new integrations and modules for: - *IBM z Systems and LinuxONE* - In partnership with IBM, we'll have a new agent to manage Linux VMs on IBM z Systems and LinuxONE. - *WebSphere -* We help simplify the management of WebSphere with a new module that provides a repeatable and consistent process for deploying WebSphere, including deployment managers, application servers, and IBM HTTP Servers (IHS) for WebSphere Application Server. - *Cisco* - With the latest release of the Puppet Supported Cisco module, we’ve added support for the 5k, 6k, and 7k line of Cisco Nexus switches, in addition to existing support for the 3k and 9k series of switches. *New Ways of Using Docker and Puppet* In April, we launched Project Blueshift, our dedicated way of engaging with leading-edge technologies and their communities. So far, we’ve focused on providing modules, examples and guidance to help you deliver and operate modern software like CoreOS, Docker (Compose, Swarm, Network, UCP), Kubernetes, Mesos and Mesosphere, and more. Today, we’re adding a new set of Docker images for running Puppet in Docker, released to Docker Hub. A set of Docker images for Puppet Server, PuppetDB and Puppet agent are now available on Docker Hub. Now, Puppet itself can be deployed and run within Docker, making it more portable and easier to maintain, test and scale. In addition to the images on the Docker Hub, we’ve created examples and guidance to help shed light on ways to use Docker with Puppet. *You can read all about what’s new and find links to learn more via our blog:* https://puppet.com/blog/use-puppet-in-docker-manage-ibm-websphere-z-systems-with-puppet-enterprise Thanks, Michael -- Michael Olson *| *Senior Product Marketing Manager 308 SW 2nd Ave., 5th Floor Portland, OR 97204 Puppet <http://puppet.com/>*.
