Return to Puppet or Ruby or Puppet DSL

Published on 9 November 2010 by

Editor's Note: The Ruby DSL (Puppet DSL) was deprecated in Puppet 3x, and is removed in Puppet 4.0.0.

Starting in Puppet 2.6.x, Puppet manifests can be written in Ruby.

Motivations:

• Developers can generate puppet resources without having to learn the Puppet DSL.
• Possible to overcome any limitations of the Puppet DSL.
• Ruby already has well known Ruby unit testing frameworks.
