;[[Puppet (software)|Puppet]]
:Puppet consists of a custom declarative language to describe system configuration, distributed using the client–server paradigm (using [[XML-RPC]] protocol in older versions, with a recent switch to [[Representational State Transfer|REST]]), and a library to realize the configuration. The resource abstraction layer enables administrators to describe the configuration in high-level terms, such as users, services and packages. Puppet will then ensure the server's state matches the description. There was brief support in Puppet for using a pure Ruby DSL as an alternative configuration language starting at version 2.6.0. However this feature was deprecated beginning with version 3.1.<ref name="upguard.com"/><ref name="alansharp-paul"/><ref name = "Ruby DSL">{{cite web|url=https://puppetlabs.com/blog/ruby-dsl/|title=Puppet & Ruby DSL - Puppet Labs|work=Puppet Labs}}</ref><ref name = "Ruby DSL is Deprecated">{{cite web|url=http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/3/reference/whats_new.html#ruby-dsl-is-deprecated|title=Puppet 3.0 — 3.4 Release Notes|work=puppetlabs.com|access-date=2013-05-23|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130513170449/http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/3/reference/whats_new.html#ruby-dsl-is-deprecated|archive-date=2013-05-13|url-status=dead}}</ref>
