Introduction to Bolt

Summary

Bolt is an open source task runner that automates the manual work that you do to maintain your infrastructure. Use Bolt to automate tasks that you perform on your infrastructure on an as-needed basis, for example, when you troubleshoot a system, deploy an application, or stop and restart services. Bolt connects directly to remote nodes with SSH or WinRM, so you are not required to install any agent software. Bolt tasks invoke changes on remote nodes in a Puppet Enterprise infrastructure and are run using the PE orchestrator. In two short modules, this training provides an introduction to both Bolt and Bolt tasks.
