Puppet is IT automation software that helps system administrators manage infrastructure throughout its lifecycle, from provisioning and configuration to patch management and compliance.

Here’s how you register a new puppet agent after installation.

Run the puppet agent in test mode

# puppet agent –test

Register the puppet agent on the puppet master server

# puppet cert list
------------------------------ cut here ------------------------------
  "agent" (45:F0:17:0C:40:89:C3:6F:45:F0:17:0C:40:89:C3:6F)
------------------------------ cut here ------------------------------
# puppet cert sign agent
