'jromero' asked a question in IRC and then left before I could answer it. :-)
So, here's the answer:
Puppet is a programming language to define and assign policies like this:
"This package should be installed."
"This user should be present and have this UID."
"This file should be present, with this ownership, and this content."
"This service should be running and enabled to start on boot."
Puppet compares to Chef, Ansible, Salt, and "group policy objects" on Windows.
Puppet is fun to work with, but without proper training (retraining, restraining) of dev-ops engineers, it can quickly grow into an wholly un-manage-able (un-holy) mess. Come to my workshop and learn how to NOT f* it up.
