Describe the configurations you want in a Puppet manifest just one time, and Puppet will apply and maintain those settings for as long as you wish.This ability to automate configuration management offers you significant advantages when it comes to security, because automated configuration management lets you broadly enforce system rules, plus get an automatically generated audit trail so you can report on compliance.
