Blueshift Enables Organizations to Adopt Constantly Modern Software, Including CoreOS, Docker, Kubernetes, Mesosphere DCOS and More
PORTLAND, OR--(Marketwired - Apr 7, 2016) - Puppet, the standard for automating the delivery and operation of the software that powers everything around us, today announced Project Blueshift and the availability of Puppet Enterprise 2016.1, the most advanced software operations platform available. Blueshift represents Puppet's role as the bridge to the future, giving Puppet users the resources they need to adopt the next big thing in a standard, predictable way. New innovations in Puppet Enterprise 2016.1 enable organizations to orchestrate change, giving them direct control and real-time visibility as they deploy changes across infrastructure and applications.
"We're driven by a belief that software can make people more powerful," said Luke Kanies, founder and CEO of Puppet. "To make that a reality, we're focused on building the standard platform for automating delivery and operation of the software that powers everything around us. Puppet gives organizations a common language to deliver and operate modern infrastructure and to adopt whatever comes next -- simply, securely, and consistently."
Project Blueshift
Blueshift represents Puppet's engagement with leading-edge technologies and their communities -- technologies like Docker, Mesos, and Kubernetes -- and Puppet's commitment to giving organizations the tools to build and operate constantly modern software. Because Puppet is a common language for modern infrastructure management that spans the entire data center, using Puppet makes it easier for organizations to adopt new technologies, even in brownfield environments.
In collaboration with Puppet's vibrant community of more than 30,000 organizations around the world, Blueshift is addressing some of the most exciting technologies in the industry, engaging with the communities and technologies around projects like:
"Puppet has a long history of making software deployment easier and more reliable, especially in the enterprise data center," said Brendan Burns, cofounder of Kubernetes. "I'm really excited to see Puppet enabling their customers to seamlessly adopt new technology like containers and Kubernetes while maintaining a consistent, familiar experience for production quality software deployment."
"Puppet has a massive footprint in the enterprise, where organizations rely on them to leverage new technology scalably and securely in production," said Florian Leibert, cofounder and CEO of Mesosphere. "As Mesosphere ramps up its presence inside large enterprises, we're thrilled to work with Puppet to help these companies run modern workloads such as containers, microservices, and big data jobs on a single, shared, and simple infrastructure."
Puppet Enterprise 2016.1
Modern applications are complex, often comprising multiple services running on multiple machines, which makes deployments time-consuming and error-prone. Puppet Enterprise 2016.1 builds on the orchestration capabilities introduced last year, giving users direct control of the changes they want to push out, plus real-time visibility into those changes, whether it's an app running in a Kubernetes cluster or a fleet of VMs running in AWS.
Here's what customers get with the new capabilities in Puppet Enterprise 2016.1:
