Case Study: Sun Microsystems uses Puppet to accelerate system updates and ensure consistent configurations across their web server architecture
We are happy to make a new case study available from Sun Microsystems on how they are benefiting from their use of Puppet to manage their web server architecture. Martin Englund, a lead engineer at Sun Microsystems, describes how he uses Puppet to greatly accelerate system updates for the servers under his control as well as ensure a consistent environment across all his servers for his web developers.
Martin went on to say:
“With Puppet I don’t have to worry anymore. Once I have written and deployed the profiles I can count on Puppet ensuring timely updates and consistent configurations across all my systems. More than anything Puppet saves me time that I simply can’t afford to lose in supporting my data centers.”
Among the key benefits that Sun Microsystems has gained from using Puppet are:
- System consistency
- Improved effeciency
- Met compliance standards
- Increased visibility
