Automic Software, the leader in business automation software and acquired by CA Technologies (News - Alert) (NASDAQ: CA), today announced a new Automic Action Pack for Puppet. This is available immediately from the Automic Marketplace.

"Enterprises must transform themselves to enable change. This is why digital transformation is such an important strategic motivation," said Chris Boorman, chief marketing officer, Automic Software.

  • Orchestration of Puppet as part of bigger application releases and deployment processes. /li>
  • Built-in actions for working with Puppet, including dynamic manipulation of nodes, classes and groups.
