Juju vs Puppet Labs: What are the differences?
What is Juju? Ubuntu Cloud brings freedom to the clouds. Juju is an open source, application and service modelling tool from Ubuntu that helps you deploy, manage and scale your applications on any cloud.
What is Puppet Labs? Server automation framework and application. Puppet is an automated administrative engine for your Linux, Unix, and Windows systems and performs administrative tasks (such as adding users, installing packages, and updating server configurations) based on a centralized specification.
Juju and Puppet Labs belong to "Server Configuration and Automation" category of the tech stack.
Some of the features offered by Juju are:
- Consistent naming
- Tagging
- Ability to add user-controlled tags to created instances
On the other hand, Puppet Labs provides the following key features:
- Insight- Puppet Enterprise's event inspector gives immediate and actionable insight into your environment, showing you what changed, where and how by classes, nodes and resources.
- Discovery- Puppet Enterprise delivers a dynamic and fully-pluggable discovery service that allows you to take advantage of any data source or real-time query results to quickly locate, identify and group cloud nodes.
- Provisioning- Automatically provision and configure bare metal, virtual, and private or public cloud capacity, all from a single pane. Save time getting your cloud projects off the ground by reusing the same configuration modules you set up for your physical deployments.
