Overview
Puppet Bolt 4.0.3 on Ubuntu 24.04 with Free Maintenance Support by pCloudHosting
Puppet Bolt is an open-source, agentless orchestration tool that automates on-demand infrastructure tasks without installing agents on target systems.
This solution is ideal for DevOps, cloud, and IT teams that need fast, flexible automation for day-to-day operational work across Linux, Windows, and macOS systems.
Core Technical Capabilities
- Agentless automation - Runs tasks and commands over SSH or WinRM with no agents required on target nodes.
- Ad-hoc task execution - Execute one-time commands, scripts, or automation tasks instantly for patching, troubleshooting, deployments, or service restarts.
- Heterogeneous environment support- Manage Linux, Windows, and mixed environments from a single control instance.
- Inventory management - Define and manage dynamic or static inventories to organise and target systems efficiently.
- Script-language flexibility - Write tasks in Bash, PowerShell, Python, Ruby, or any language supported on your targets.
How It Works (Architecture Overview)?
- Bolt CLI runs directly on the EC2 instance launched from the AMI.
- Secure transports use SSH or WinRM to connect to remote systems.
- Task engine processes task definitions, parameters, and execution logic.
- Optional agent-based execution is supported when needed, while agentless mode remains the default.
- Results and logs are collected centrally for visibility and troubleshooting.
