Today at OpenStack Summit Hong Kong, Puppet Labs, the leading provider of IT automation software,
announced that its flagship commercial product, Puppet Enterprise, is tested and
certified to interoperate with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform.
The Certification ensures consistent performance and compatibility between the
two solutions.
Puppet Labs' technologies power many of the largest
enterprise OpenStack distributions and are used in large-scale OpenStack
deployments by PayPal, Cisco, WebEx and CERN. With Puppet Enterprise certified
on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack platform, joint customers will benefit
from the ability to manage their OpenStack resources with Puppet Enterprise. For
today's diverse IT environments, Puppet Enterprise provides unmatched
interoperability across all enterprise operating systems and cloud environments,
and integrates the management of compute, network and storage resources,
enabling IT organizations to achieve greater operational efficiency and
agility.
The Red Hat OpenStack Cloud Infrastructure Partner Network is

partners from around the world, including independent hardware vendors (IHVs),
original equipment manufacturer (OEM) partners, independent software vendors
