Puppet is an automation platform that consists of the following components:
1. Puppet Master: This is the server-side component of Puppet, which manages the configuration of all the nodes in the Puppet network. It is responsible for receiving and processing the Puppet manifests, and for distributing the configuration to the nodes. Example: Puppet Enterprise.
2. Puppet Agents: These are the client-side components of Puppet which receive the configuration from the Puppet Master and apply it to the nodes. Example: Puppet Agent.
3. Puppet Language: This is the language used to write the Puppet manifests. It is a declarative language that supports variables, conditionals, and functions. Example: Puppet Manifest.
4. Puppet Forge: This is an online repository for Puppet modules. It provides a collection of pre-written Puppet code that can be used to quickly and easily configure nodes. Example: Puppet Forge.
5. Puppet Dashboard: This is a web-based application for managing Puppet nodes. It provides a graphical interface for viewing and managing nodes, and for running Puppet manifests on them. Example: Puppet Dashboard.
