PORTLAND, OR--(Marketwired - Oct 8, 2015) - Today, Puppet Labs, the leading provider of IT automation software, kicks off its fifth annual user conference, PuppetConf 2015. This year's conference will feature some of the best PuppetConf keynotes yet, including talks from Uber, Wal-Mart and Wells Fargo, great technical sessions, and an IT Leadership Track, new for 2015. Luke Kanies, Puppet Labs founder and CEO, will kick off PuppetConf with the first public demo of Puppet Application Orchestration, Puppet Labs' most ambitious project since Puppet Enterprise was introduced four years ago. Luke will also cover the future direction of Puppet and the IT industry.
Announced last week ahead of PuppetConf, Puppet Application Orchestration builds on the foundation that makes Puppet the most widely used tool for modern infrastructure management. As a complete management stack on a single platform, Puppet Application Orchestration sets the standard for the way modern organizations configure, deliver and maintain the applications their customers depend on, and give them a competitive advantage.
Demand for PuppetConf is driven by the largest automation ecosystem on the planet:
- More than 1.25 million active Puppet Enterprise nodes contracted to date, nearly doubled since PuppetConf 2014.
- Puppet is used by 30,000 companies worldwide, including 65 percent of the Fortune 100.
- An average of 22 new organizations per day use Puppet for the first time.
- On Tuesday, Puppet Labs achieved APN DevOps Competency in the AWS Partner Network (APN).
