Open Source Projects
at Puppet

At Puppet, open source software is in our DNA. From the earliest days of Facter to the latest version of Bolt, we've always been firm believers in the power of open source. Puppet's own projects benefit from working in the open, and so do the upstream projects we contribute to, like Visual Studio Code, Leiningen, and Ruby.

How is Open Source Puppet Different from Puppet Enterprise?

The Puppet Development Kit

The Puppet Development Kit (PDK) makes it easy to develop and test Puppet modules by providing a simple, unified interface to a set of helpful tools for anyone who writes or consumes Puppet code. With PDK, you can get going fast with a Puppet development environment, access to best practices, and new tools to build, test, and deliver high-quality Puppet modules. Additionally, the PDK lets you catch issues earlier, before Puppet code is applied to live infrastructure by testing modules right from your Windows, OS X, or Linux workstation.

What is Puppet Open Source?

Open source drives innovation by enabling anyone to experiment with the code. It enhances security by making the inner workings of the software you rely on visible for inspection. It builds community by encouraging collaboration and reuse. And it just feels good because it’s the right thing to do.
