Puppet

Puppet is like a magic wand that helps computers follow instructions. Just like how you follow instructions from your teacher or parent, computers need to follow instructions too, and that's where Puppet comes in.

Here's how it works. Let's say you have a lot of computers in your classroom and you want to make sure they all have the same programs and settings. That would take a long time to do manually on each computer, right? But with Puppet, you can create one set of instructions or rules called a "manifest" and Puppet will make sure that all the computers follow those rules.

It's kind of like a teacher telling all the students in the class to do something, and then making sure everyone does it. Puppet does the same thing, but with computers.

But Puppet can do even more than that! It can also monitor the computers to make sure they keep following the rules. If a computer starts to do something it's not supposed to, Puppet will give it a gentle nudge to get back on track.

So, in short, Puppet is like a computer wizard that helps keep all your computers in line and do what they're supposed to do.
